Job Requirements: 3-7 players, 175 word per post, at least 15 posts per player. Roll at least 8 times. Deffeat both bosses.
Job Location:Sukai
Job Description: It was a nomral day at your guild and everything was peaceful. That is until a weird message appeared. "Do you seek power? Fame? Glory? Perhaps all three? Or perhaps money? Then head to the Sukai Ruins. However...what thou shall find there might not be what you expected if you are too strong" Thinking about it it was decided that a group of mages (to which you belong) would go and investigate the Sukai Ruins.
Your group managed to reach Sukai safe and sound. However while you were walking through a forest on your way to the ruins...you were ganked. A local gang of mages decided to attack you and steal your bellongings and maybe kill you in the process. Why? For the fun of it of course.
Now what you must do is to defeat the gang and make your way out of the forest. On the other hand being killed by the gang may be a better choice. Why? Because the forest is filled with magical beasts! Which you may or may not encouter of course.
Enemies:
Weak: Pyro-Biker x10: Members of a mage gang. They wear black leather clothes and ride bikes on their free time. They attack using flames. They deal 1/2 D rank damage. Need to receive 1.5 D rank damage to be deffeated.
Normal: Poisonus Thugs x5: Some more members of that mage gang. They look like junkies and attack using needles or poisonus liquid. They deal 1.5 D rank damage. They go down when they receive 3 D rank damage.
Strong: Four Black Shadows: When strong opponent is rolled these four appear. They are second only to the leader of this group. They need to be defeated before the boss appears. (if boss is rolled before them, then treat the roll as a strong monster roll)
NIKOLAS-THE PIMP:
An awful person that rapes and pimps young girls. He is one of the Four Black Shadows, the four right hand men(?) of this gang's leader. Nikolas uses a whip, which's speed he amplifies with his magic. He is as fast and strong as a C rank. Takes 2 C rank damage to be defeated.
ROB-THE WALL:
The gang's fatest member. He is a murdere and a dealer. He used body strengthening magic. Thus he deals C rank damage. However his is so fat that his speed drops. He moves at 1/2 C rank speed. It takes 1.5 C rank damage to defeat this one.
JIAN LING-THE HOOKER:
The only female of the group. She serves as the toy of the gang. Also she is the only member that has a not so illegal job. She uses steel fans to attack. However she doesn't hold them in her hands. She guides them with her magic. She deals C rank damage. It takes 2 C rank damage to take her down.
VANGO-THE SLAYER:
A mysterius guy. He wields two scimtars, each 2m long. It is rummored that he has killed over 100 men and even more children. He can control the his blood, providing that it is out of his body. He deals C rank damage and goes down with 2 C rank damage.
Boss:
COSTAS THE SHADOW:
The boss of this mage gang, Costas. He can manipulate shadows and also is a capable ninja. Hits by his shadows deal B rank armed damage. It takes 4 C rank damage to defeat him.
However Costas is a con! He actually is no mage. Instead he uses a magical ring that gives him the abilities he has. It could be valuable if you took it.
SPELLS:
Shadow Kunai: A smart kunai, that will follow it's target till it hits or it is blocked/destroyed. It deals B rank damage.
The Claws: Costas creates 2 katars made out of shadows. This remain on his hand for 2 posts and make his attacks deal additional damage equal to C rank armed damage.
THE BEASTS:
A second boss. Can only be fought after the first boss is defeated. This boss is simply a wave of magical beast that live in the forest. The wave consists of 30 beasts. 20 of them deal half D rank damage, 10 deal D rank, 5 deal 1.5 D rank damage and the other 5 deal C rank damage. It takes a hit of any rank to defeat one beast. So it takes in total 30 hits of any rank to defeat all of the beasts.
Reward: 10k Jewels per player (taken from the mage gang), double D rank exp AND
SHADOW RUNE RING (QUEST ITEM):
The ring previously worn by Costas. It has a weird rune carved on it. It seems like the abilities the ring grants the user come from this rune.
It's a quest item, it will be needed later. However it can be worn by one of the mages that took part in this job. Although if worn it can only be used on the next jobs of this series (Rune Hunting 2/5, Rune Hunting 3/5, Rune Hunting 4/5 and Rune Hunting 5/5). When worn the wielder gains the same abilities as Costas, however all damage done is decreased to match the user's rank.

Leah wasn't usually one to sleep in late, and today was hardly an exception. The redhead had gotten up at the crack of dawn (actually, before any sunlight had hit this part of Earthland) and was already brushing her teeth when the first traces of light leaked through her window. Flossing took another few minutes before there was a rinse, and then she was good to go! The mage stepped out from the bathroom, wearing only a robe, and stared into the mirror at her reflection. Dripping hair, snarly from the massaging to her scalp she had done in the shower, was strewn all over her shoulders. After all, the girl's mother had always told her it was bad to brush your hair when it was wet.
As she regarded herself in the silvery, reflective glass, Leah wondered exactly what she ought to wear today. It was not as though she had a job to do or any missions to go on. In fact, the redhead basically only intended to hang around the guild hall and rest up in case she took a hard assignment any time soon. Besides wasting time with extra eating and drinking and generous portions of napping, the mage also intended to get some training done. Within the past few months she had been here as a part of Golden Phoenix, the girl had realized that she had in fact grown at least a little bit stronger. Becoming a wizard saint was nowhere near her list or priorities, but an improvement in power appealed to everyone. And no matter how unique she liked to think of herself as being, Leah was thoroughly and completely a part of the category of 'everyone.'
She finally decided that wearing a cropped brown T-shirt with a black leather vest over the top was appropriate, and she chose to pair it with breeches of the same material as the vest. Boots of some kind always accompanied every ensemble with some exceptions (see beach wear or night time attire) and she chose to go with black ones today, with spike heels that could stab right through someone's foot if they got on her bad side. Impractical as they might have been for trudging through a forest, she liked the clickety clack they made against the hard, dark stained wood of her bedroom floor. Of course, actually chipping it was... out of the question. That would mean paying for damages, and Leah was nothing if not stingy.
Lastly, she buckled on her belt that would contain any weapons she requipped and wanted to carry around for any reason. With all of that taken care of, she gave the room a once over and made to leave before her eye caught the dresser. Must... straighten! she thought as she rushed over and hauled it out a little bit further from the wall before rotating it slightly to the left. Now everything seemed to be in order-- except for those wrinkles on her bedspread. After that was done, Leah finally left the room.
508 Words/...10,500.
This is kind of just weird stuff that you honestly don't need to read much. I figure they both might meet a couple posts in for us each, in a lunch room at the guild hall or something? Does Golden Phoenix have that?

Leila Vergious • Golden Phoenix • C Rank
In the end, the guild still appeared as a rather strange one. It left like Golden Phoenix was the only guild that actually had their hall beneath the water's surface and only accessible through a teleportation gate on the surface, guarded by many magical birds called phoenixes. It was a good security system for a treasure hunting guild for sure, but what would outsiders think of this? Well, Leila was about to find that out as she slowly made her way up to the gate with another figure by her side, one that overshadowed her with ease. There was no doubt that this figure was almost about twice the girl's actual size, which would probably appear quite frightening to some. Indeed, his appearance as whole was one that probably wasn't like by many. Though the Eden's mage herself absolutely adored this person. He was like her father and teacher after all! And right now, they were about the enter the guild together. "Are you sure you want to go in there with me? There's to way of telling if I'll even be able to find a suitable contract for me, so this could be just a big waste of time you know?" The figure would slowly turn it's head towards the girl below his gaze, it's mechanical mouth opening in response. "There is no need to question my decision. I have been pardoned of my history recording duty by my creator and now I am free to do as I please. What I wish to be doing right now is spending time with you, Leila. After all, we lost a lot of time together when I was... in the state of disrepair."
With a sigh, but also a smile, the girl just activated the gate and entered it together with the golem, their figures now appearing in the guild hall, or rather, at the entrance to the underwater city that all belonged to the Golden Phoenix. Still impressive, the sight of it all. "I see. So structures like this exist beneath the surface of water as well. Impressive indeed. This will stay recorded in my database, even if my duty is no longer. You performed good, choosing a guild of this magnitude." Leila could only chuckle as she hopped few steps ahead, turning to face the golem. "What can I say, I was thought by the best! Now c'mon, the board is this way!" She would encourage him to speed up as she moved closer to him and tugged on the heavy coat that he was now wearing once more, almost as if she was a small child that wanted her parent to hurry up towards the candy shop. An interesting duo these two were, that much was certain as different guild members and other inhabitants of this place stared at them, especially the cloaked tall figure as they walked towards the main hall that hosted the board with jobs and contracts from all over the nation. Finding suitable contracts was actually starting to be a problem for the silver haired maiden, as people started noticing her lack of power. Which meant that she was no longer getting as many requests as in the old days. It was only natural of course, but it still made the girl wish that her powers would return sooner. With that said, she also started looking all over the place in hopes that she would maybe spot a familiar face that could join her on this mysterious quest that was surely ahead of her! The lack of interactions with old friends was making her feel a tad bit lonely, although the mechanical father was now also making a good job of filling that gap every single moment.

The hallways seemed to be silent as one passed by, the blinds drawn and the long passageways dark. Dawn hadn't arisen yet, but even if it had who really knew whether the water would bend down any rays of sun that tried to peek through the windows of the guild hall? Each door was firmly bolted shot, at least presumably; it would be rude to go ahead and test them all, for fear that someone would stare back at the one intruding and shame him or her (or even it) for rudeness. As Leah made her way down the hall, the thought of opening a door that she passed didn't even go through her mind.
Instead, her brain was focused on the idea of getting a job. Her rent wasn't exactly due today, nor ever, but she needed jewels to pay for plenty of other things. Namely, uh... new armor and new weapons! Besides that, she could always use travel money for other adventures and missions, since recently many of them had seemed to take her just everywhere. From Seven to Bellum and then Midi, the redhead didn't exactly mind it. Aside from the fact that she needed to pay for any train tickets or boat rides, it was a nice experience. However, she definitely wouldn't mind taking a job that was... more in this, shall we say, area for her next assignment. So Leah's aim was the guild hall, and she walked with a brisk stride that seemed to give off a sense of purpose. That really was her aim: not to betray how, to a great extent, she had no idea what mission she was going to take now that a few major ones were over. Of course, this little trip to the assignment board would help her figure out this whole situation. Otherwise, there was no point to coming out. Socializing with other members of the guild was nice and a necessity for any human (being the social creatures that they were) but not very appealing to Leah in general. After all, she was very good at small talk and basic chitter that let a person act polite but disinterested in an underlying way. So, she could be nice until a method of escape presented itself, in which case she would promptly bolt.
Anyways, all rules of conversation aside, the mage had arrived by now at the entrance of the main entry hall. She pushed open the right of the double doors with a slight bit of trepidation on account of the fact that the hinges could be squeaky at times. Waking up a bunch of other occupants of the building would hardly be a good idea. Thankfully, it made barely any noise whatsoever, and when Leah got inside the room she realized that there were plenty of people already inside. Well, plenty may not have been the correct word; a few sat at the bar, having a... morning drink, while others chatted at the long tables that were in the hall. The redhead took a seat at the edge of the a bench that was placed along side a long table at the very edge of the room. This way, she would probably be alone, unless someone else deliberately sat next to each other. With this kept in mind, the girl slipped off her jacket and draped it over her newly claimed seat. It was fairly warm in this room, since no goosebumps arose on her bare skin. That was just another thing to be thankful for about this miraculous underwater city: climate control.
She strode over to the bar, which wasn't exactly only for mixed drinks (and possibly water or juice or whatever other manner of beverages people requested). Leah subtly picked an empty glass, rim-down, off of the counter, where it was lying on a towel. She walked over to a small fountain and filled it before returning to her seat. The breakfast of champions was anything she wanted it to be, and today the mage thoroughly intended to make it snacks. The emerald eyed girl requipped her magical box, full of a variety of little bits to eat, and unclasped the lid. After staring at the contents for a little while, Leah popped a macaroon in her mouth and slowly chewed it, eyes glancing all around the building. Maybe I ought to share with someone else...? she wondered. More people seemed to be filing into the room even as she mused over who to maybe call over. So far, nobody had tried to sit next to her. Just then, however, the redhead's eyes met those of a girl who had beautiful, long ivory hair.

Just as the girl feared, most of the jobs required mages of much higher power than she currently possessed or they were about some trivial matters like helping gardening or repairing someone's house. While the silver haired maiden didn't have many problems doing jobs like those, she was in the mood for something more "important" right now. Especially since her mechanical father was standing right behind her and willing to help. Surely he too craved adventure deeply after his long slumber, even if his lack of facial emotions didn't allow him to make that clear. With a sigh, the girl would rub her head and turn around to face the rest of this room. Maybe there was someone who already signed up for a contract that she could perform? If that was the case then surely she could join them and then split the rewards by the end of it all! Wouldn't be the first time she did that. Though the number of people in here seemed to be quite limited right now. Well, it wasn't like the entirety of the underwater city was gathering here at all times, so not much else could be expected.
"Seems like we're fresh out of luck right now. Seems like we'll have to visit other guilds, maybe those will have tasks that need someone to tend to them."
The golem would nod to those words, showing off his usually silent nature. So as the Eden's witch tried to leave this place, he followed. Something else interrupted that walk, however. A brief eye contact with a lady sitting all alone at one of the tables. For some reason, it made Leila stop dead in her tracks as she continued looking at this unknown girl. Unknown? She was once an Ace of this guild and managed to memorize names and faces of all the other members. At that time, this one was definitely not present on the roaster, that much she was certain about. The red haired girl must have been a newer addition to the guild and that meant Leila should probably introduce herself. Even the golem was surprised when his adopted daughter suddenly stopped and then started walking towards a random individual.
"Um... excuse me, but are you new here perhaps? My name is Leila Vergious, a fellow member of this guild and I don't believe I've seen you around yet."
She tried to introduce herself to the best of her abilities, albeit maybe a little bit awkward while doing so. When it was one on one, she usually had no problems with this whatsoever. But presence of other members in this room made the Eden's witch slightly uncomfortable and reluctant to say anything at all. Her words were forced out of her throat all at once, so now she could only stand there and hope for the best while sizing this girl up. For some reason, the crimson red hair appeared rather alluring to her, like flames drawing moths closer with each second. Probably not the most flattering compliment ever, but at least it was not said out loud. Not yet anyway... The golem made his way to the table as well after few seconds, his giant figure that towered a fair bit over 8 feed being perhaps little frightening in combination with the inhuman parts. And yet, he was perfectly peaceful and kind until provoked, such seemed to be the nature of many Machias.
"Someone you know, Leila?"
It was probably natural to be little curious. After all, even if he was not a real father to Leila, as that wasn't quite possible with him being a machine and all that, he was still rather protective of her. And after being gone for a whole year if not longer, he wished to learn all he could about the small silver haired daughter of his, so that they could be a good family again.
"Ah, no. Someone I didn't recognize in fact. Sorry, father can appear pretty scary but he's actually a really good guy!"
Trying to make sure the redhead would not be afraid of the giant, the girl flailed her arms around in somewhat comical fashion for a moment before smiling warmly. It would be rather nice if she could make a new friend right here.

Leah was surprised (not yet pleasantly so though) when the girl she had looked at didn't brake their eye contact right away. That was strange; typically people just passed over the redhead with a glance after they realized they were looking at her. Even more astonishing was the fact that the stranger suddenly paused mid stride and began heading over to the ReQuip mage's table, which was almost across the room. A slight smile appeared on the green eyed girl's face purely out of habit, because one had to be polite while meeting new people. As the girl got closer, she examined her face and found that it seemed to be genuine, her mixed curiosity and benign expression. Immediately upon arriving at the table, the pale haired girl asked if she was new. Well, that was an interesting thing. Furthermore, Leila introduced herself, and Leah resisted the urge to laugh. She knew this female; she had been watching as the girl walked into the guild hall with a warm welcome from several other members. The redhead had seen her join, but at the same time, she was sure, Leila had originally been part of Golden Phoenix a while ago.
"I'm not around here very much," she replied, because she wasn't exactly sure what the word new consisted of. "Comparatively speaking, I might be new. Call me Lise," the redhead advised with a wry smile, "Or Leah if you really would like. As a fellow guild member."
The hulking figure next to the stranger- no, next to Leila, seemed to have some kind of relationship with the slim female, as he rumbled out a few words that the redhead listened closely to. Were the two friends? No, Leah didn't think so, not now at least. The white haired girl seemed to reply in kind and further explained that she hadn't recognized the other mage. At this, the girl returned to her glass of water and sipped it carefully. Her other hand automatically reached for the section of the box containing the macaroons, before it froze.
"Would you like a snack?" she asked the other girl politely, grabbing the box and lifting it up towards the two standing people nearby. "I don't mind your father," she added in reply to the earlier question. After all, her own father had been... not cruel, but detached and altogether too willing to go along with whatever everyone else said. It wasn't much better than arrogance, but he had been painfully handsome and uselessly as well. If Leila's father was a 'good guy' then she would only be delighted for the other girl. She seemed to be determined to make Leah believe it, anyways, what with her antics after announcing the well-meaningness (was that a word?) of the oddly dressed man. "So tell me, Leila, what brings you down here today?" she asked, taking another swig of water. It seemed like starting a conversation would be appropriate here, and at some point the mage intended to ask what on earth was going on with the female's hair. It really did seem to fade into the floor.

Leila Vergious • Golden Phoenix • C Rank
Yes, it surely have been strange for Leila to just walk up to someone and randomly introduce herself like that. Normally, she would not do something like that without a good reason. But while inside of the guild, well... perhaps this was still something left inside of her from the days when she was much more for this guild that just a regular member. It was probably wrong to say it that way, as they were still family and everyone was equally important, but that did not really change the fact that there were official positions, making some more important than others. In any case, the silver haired maiden would smile at the girl who introduced herself as Lise or Leah while tipping her top hat slightly, a gesture of greetings from someone who was wearing an outfit as fancy as Leila.
"I see. In that case, it's a great pleasure to meet you, Leah! My apologies if this seems strange to you... I was an Ace of this guild some time back. Managed to memorize every single member in those days, so new faces always surprise me a bit, make me feel like I should introduce myself to them. Just like you."
There was probably absolutely no need to justify her actions, but she did so anyway. Thankfully Leah seemed to be pretty friendly and understanding of matters, even offering macaroons to Leila who just now introduced herself. Well, she was always thought that refusing kindness of another was rude, so she smiled and grabbed a green colored one. "Thank you very much~" She loved sweets and this managed to bring a big, childish smile to her face as she bit into it, her mouth waving into a pleased shape. If something like this were to become common, then the two of them would surely not have any problems getting along at all! Ah, the good old greedy Leila that loved money and other things that could benefit her more than anything. There was some of that persona inside of her still after all. Then things came to the matter of what she was doing here. Well, answer to that would be quite simple indeed.
"Ah, just was searching for a suitable contr-"
She did not finish however, as something managed to interrupt her. A wave of magical energy from the center of the room where magical flames suddenly sparked, taking on a strange shape of letters that arranged themselves in a neat manner. And soon, something even more strange was spelled out.
"Do you seek power? Fame? Glory? Perhaps all three? Or perhaps money? Then head to the Sukai Ruins. However...what thou shall find there might not be what you expected if you are too strong"
Everyone in the room was staring at it, though many just dismissed it as a joke from another of the members. After all, they were in the underwater city. Magic from outside should not really reach this palce under any normal circumstances. Leila was intrigued however. She was an adventurous type after all. And even if this was nothing more than a simple prank, she still wanted to investigate it.
"Well, this is interesting. Seems like we found our contract, father."
After she said those words, the gaze of those ocean blue eyes was directed back at Leah who was seemingly still sitting there in wonder and expectation to how she would react to such an event. They did just meet, but perhaps... perhaps they could take that few steps further today?

Leah almost started in surprise at the mention of this... Leila... having been an ace. Well, that explained why she was welcomed into Golden Phoenix with such excitement; there was rarely that turnout when it came to greeting new members. Of course the officers and higher ups were quite friendly, but the redhead had yet to see anyone be mobbed so much as the pale haired girl had been. Speaking of which, emerald eyes flitted down to look once again at the female's hair. She almost felt tempted to ask what had happened, but considering that Leila might have... died...? she decided against it. Rather, the mage was just settling back into her seat and reaching for a cracker from another compartment when the girl across from her accepted a macaroon, much to the young woman's pleasure. She did like it when people ate her snacks, especially because it also helped her magic (although there was the downside of people always wanting more snacks after they ate one or two). In fact, the wide smile that had spread across the blue eyed young woman's face was enough reward for her to forget about the loss of snacks for now. After all, she could conjure more later (even if it would be a pain if she forgot and accidentally ate them all first).
Just as she was listening to the slim female start talking about how she was here to find something, her words were cut off as her attention was diverted to something glittering across the table. It was positioned as though it was meant to be read by someone away from Leah, which was strange considering what was revealed it said. Was... Am I too strong? she thought angrily to herself. Everybody deserved power, fame, and glory, not just those who happened to be newer. And money, she added on mentally after realizing that the upside down text had also said that. Well, she was more of a skim reader anyways, and having to right the direction of the letters inside her head hadn't helped the level of comprehension the redhead had managed to obtain. However, the mage was skeptical of how the writing had appeared here... a practical joke, maybe? Surreptitiously, she glanced around the room and found that a great many people met her eyes with just as much of a guarded or curious expression. The others were staring at the text itself, and Leah resigned herself to the fact that it hadn't been planned out by another member of Golden Phoenix. They all knew that everybody was gung ho about treasure anyways and wouldn't have led anyone off on a wild goose chase, too... right? For sure, she was certain.
"I'm going," the mage stated as she rose to her feet, surprising herself with the lack of accent and the presence of what was actually a great deal of conviction. Then again, she had been withholding her native color to her words for a while now during this conversation, but the fact that it hadn't come out even when she wasn't trying to keep it back... well, that was something of an accomplishment to the female. Leila seemed to have the same thoughts; this was her new contract. That was interesting to the redhead, because she wasn't really accustomed to working with members of her own guild (no matter how strange that sounded). This was honestly her first encounter. "Let's go to Sukai," the emerald eyed girl said. Then with a little bit more hesitation... "D'you know where it is?"

Leila noticed the expression that Leah was making and chuckled. She probably managed to figure out exactly what the redhead was thinking, which was in a certain context rather amusing. Even the Golem standing nearby had to question it, however. He too was unaware of this little fact now that the silver haired girl thought about it. Well, he was to know sooner or later, so why not tell him now? "Think that the 'too strong' part applies to you, Leah? Don't worry, you should meet my sister one of these days. She is pretty much the textbook definition of 'way too strong'." It was quite unclear if she should be proud of this fact or feel different. Having the embodiment of devastation as a relative was a strange feeling indeed, though one could argue just how exactly they were connected due to their rather uncommon circumstance.
"So there were more after all... I did not realize."
The golem would say, mostly to him self as his eye-less gaze redirected itself from his daughter to the floor, as if he was in deep thought. In any case, the girl was glad that she now had a new companion for this quest, however it would really turn out. With a welcoming smile, she would offer a handshake before all. "In that case, I'm looking forward to working with you Leah!" Once that was done with, the Eden's mage would step away from the table and stretch a bit before looking around. So the journey would lead to another world from the sound of it, huh? That was quite exciting! "Sukai... sounds like our destination is Wakusei Portals. Huh, was there last with my sis too... alright, follow me!" She threw her fist into the air in victorious manner as she started sprinting out of the guild hall and towards the teleporter that lead back to the surface.
However, a slight issue presented itself there. They were atop the mountains of phoenixes, place that was somewhat far from their destination. So once Leah caught up, Leila would look at her with somewhat mischievous expression. Suddenly, several branches sprouted from her back, growing many different leaves and beautiful flowers. And in no time at all, the silver haired girl was now adorned with wings of nature that rested behind her. Same happened for the golem as well, though his wings simply unfolded from his back, metallic and brown in color. They were assembled from metal plates infused with magical power as well as many running metal cogs you could normally find inside of machines. "This will probably sound a little weird, but... do you have any issues with heights or being carried like a princess~?"
It was a serious question and yet, it's other half played on a teasing note that accompanied Leila's smile. There was a rather pretty girl in front of her after all. This was a golden opportunity to have some fun, even if it would be one-sided. And it seemed like the best way of reaching their destination too, as there wasn't exactly much traffic in the air. Traveling on the ground would take them several hours at least, unless Leah had some way of teleporting all of them there instantly. Actually, Leila herself had ability like that. But it only worked on her own body, which meant she would abandon these two if she was to transport herself to the portals. And surely, even someone like that had to be enticed by the thought of seeing the world from a great height like that! It was an experience that could even change the way some people think, seeing the world so small and almost insignificant.

The redhead stiffened in a way that was barely imperceptible when Leila questioned whether she thought she fell under that category of being too strong. I never thought it was proper to indicate someone was arrogant with amusement, she reflected sharply keeping any trace of tartness from her face or her tone in the next words. "I would love to meet your sister one day," she only replied before giving the other female a ghost of a smile. The golem seemed to be intrigued by something, but Leah didn't lean in to listen more closely and instead she only inspected the words drawn on the table again.
Power, huh? The mage had never really been interested in power, but the wealth did appeal to her greatly. After all, money could literally buy anything, including happiness. Why else would there be an entertainment business? With this thought lingering in her mind, the redhead reached out a hand and firmly shook Leila's, returning the kind smile with a wry one of her own. "Likewise, I can't wait for us to get to know each other better." Was that creepy? The mage sighed inwardly at her social incompetence; usually she was much better with all of this. Maybe it was just because this guild mate of hers was not only an older and former member but also so darned pretty. The emerald eyed girl wanted to put her head in her hands but instead, she just nodded as the female with stunning sapphire eyes seemed to have an idea of where they were going.
"I've stepped through a few of those portals before," the mage mused out loud. "Meshi is where these delicious never-ending snacks originate from," she added before rattling the plastic box that held said snacks. Now, how were they to get there again? The logical explanation was to head out right now from the guild hall and journey from the Phoenix Islands to the entrances of all the portals, and then choose the one that led to Sukai. It might be a few days worth of traveling if they went by train or boat or something, but it was possible that Ilosa might consent to being ridden. The redhead bit her lip thoughtfully and was just about to offer that she try to get the grumpy pegasus to cooperate when Leila's voice brought her thoughts to a halt. Did she... did she mind being carried like a princess? Oh yes, and heights as well. No, neither were a problem.
"I don't have issues with either of those," she said with a faintly puzzled tone. "Although I can possible arrange for, er, transportation if it's necessary. You aren't planning to jump off a cliff or something and hope a phoenix picks us up out of the sky, right?" she joked, recalling that they were indeed on one of the more mountainous islands in the trail of islets that made up the Phoenix band. The look in the other girl's eyes made Leah a little bit uneasy, but she pushed it away and waited expectantly for a response.

Leila chucked lightly. Indeed, Meshi was the land completely made out of sweets. The girl herself had to yet visit the place, but she knew quite a bit about it and was eager to jump through the portal that lead to that world one day. It was a shame that it would not be today now that she was reminded of it like that, but oh well. Adventure for another day instead of the dreadful boredom, right? And right now, they would have some fun too! Or at least the Eden's mage would have as her floral wings fluttered in the breeze that was quite apparent atop the phoenix mountains. If Leah had no problems with being carried or being high above the ground, then everything was prepared and pretty much perfect for this interesting sounding journey. Offering another rather mischievous smile, she jumped right next to her new friend, swiftly grabbing her in such manner that she started carrying her one hand below her knees and the other one below her shoulders. Thank goodness for the added strength that came from stronger magical power. Not that Leah was heavy or anything, but it would be hard for anyone to carry another person in such way for too long.
"Alright, time to jump of the cliff~!"
She shouted out in rather excited voice and started sprinting to the nearest edge. And just as her partner worried, she did indeed jump! Of course there was no real danger, as the fragile looking wings were actually very powerful and capable of lifting multiple people with ease. And so, the two of them would find themselves gliding on the wind, quickly gaining distance from the point where they just stood. And in couple of seconds, the giant golem joined the due as well. His wings were different, and not only in the sense that they were made out of metals. They were not flapping at all when he needed to lift his body. Instead, each segment of the wings was almost like a small thruster you could see on a flying machine, propelling him higher via the power of science rather than magic. In any case, they were all soaring through the air now, straight line towards the portals. Leila's grip on her red haired princess would tighten slightly, ensuring that she would not let her fall to her death under any circumstances. Nothing could make friends faster than a situation where one's own life was involved, so this was unintentionally perfect, right?
Enjoying the view? We should arrive at our destination in an hour or so with this speed, so feel free to gaze at it all for as long as you want~
She would playful inform the girl in her arms as they continued forward. Time flew by and eventually, they arrived where they needed to be. Wakusei portals in their full glory! Slowly descending, the silver haired maiden made sure to have a smooth landing as she carefully placed Leah back on her feet. Hopefully that experience was more enjoyable than frightening overall, but she would not know until it was said verbally. Whatever the case, they now had the access to Sukai. If the girl recalled correctly, it was a mysterious land that existed mostly high in the skies, above the clouds. Seemed like they would spend entirety of today in high altitude. Not that she would mind that in any way. Approaching the light blue portal, she took in it's majestic appearance once more. A giant gate filled with ever-changing portal that lead to another world. Many ripples danced on it's surface as the land of another dimension could be faintly seen on the other side. Turning towards Leah once more, Leila beckoned and smiled.
"Okay, ready for some neat adventure together?"

Leah gaped at the crazy female who was currently giggling slightly, a foreboding sound and sight.
She cleared her throat and then had to clear it again to buy herself time when beautiful multicolored wings (patterened with beautiful flowers) waved gently in the breeze. Where had those come from?
"Leila, think this through, there are so many- !" her words were cut off when the redhead was promptly picked up and cradled in the other mage's arms. "I'm heavy Leila, you might not be able to carry me for lon- " she desperately tried to protest, but to no avail. Without further ado, the emerald eyed girl was clutched tightly in the other mage's arms as the silver haired one sprinted towards the edge of the cliff. Leah couldn't help but squeeze her eyes shut, but when they didn't smash on the ground after a few seconds she hesitantly let them flutter open. Meeting her eyes was a sight that seemed to span the entire world; she could see the ocean surrounding the island as well as the golem, beneath them a little bit (looking less intimidating with the extraordinary back drop) and all the people in their cities that now seemed so tiny and inconsequential. She breathed in deeply, feeling the cold air rushing through her hair and against her skin.
"An hour," she repeated before gazing up at the mage who was carrying her. Silver hair flying in the breeze... "Beautiful," the redhead murmured as she turned back to stare at the scenery around them. It seemed as though no time at all had passed (an hour was so long, had it really been so?) when the two came to a gentle halt and the ReQuip mage opened her eyes, hardly even having realized that at some point she had closed them. The girl smiled at Leila, who had helped set her back upright, and said quietly, "Thank you for, the ride," stumbling on the last few syllables. Swirling and almost intimidating with its otherworldly blue light, glowing and bright, the portal stood a few meters away. Its arch reached higher into the sky than how Leah remembered the Meshi one had, but that was to be expected. They all did lead to different worlds, after all. Taking a small glance at ordinary Earthland and Fiore around her in a sort of preparation if A) they didn't come back and B) Sukai was so different that she forgot what home was like (no matter how unlikely or not either option was) she finally nodded at her fellow mage. "Ready," she said before she reached out to grab Leila's hand on a whim and pull her through.
She found that they were standing on what seemed to be a barren pile of dirt.
Brown (geez, that neon blue portal was highly misleading!) and rock hard beneath her feet, the soil of this planet didn't seem like it was at all fertile for really anything. The redhead frowned at the sight and leaned down to swipe a finger across the ground, coughing at the dustiness that seemed to linger heavy in the air and was disturbed by her movements. "I thought Sukai was a place where people who were well off came to relax and spend buckets of money," she said rather flatly before gazing around the area a little more closely. Yep, so far in the distance basically all she could see was brown and more brown- hn, what was that? Leah stepped forward a little bit in reaction to the dense whiteness she saw in the upper horizon.
Stilling her movements, the mage glanced straight up and was met with the sight of what actually seemed to be a fluffy ceiling, made of dense clouds packed together. That was right, any part of Sukai that was actually inhabited tended to be established on one of those floating island thingy majiggers that hovered above the layer of clouds. The mage squinted at said layer and mused to herself that it seemed to be almost solid, with how tightly arranged the fluffiness was. "Is there a staircase somewhere?" she joked. Citizens might never come down to the actual planet, but they had to have a way back up if people fell... right? The clouds might slow the fall and they could survive (or did people actually just fall through clouds and they were not magical at all?).

Despite her early warnings at protests, Leah eventually found herself just fine with the idea of flying over Earthland's wast visage. And just how she said, it truly was beautiful, breath taking even. Or was that comment directed at something else? Nah, surely not. After all, what else could possibly compare to the moment when you finally see just how big this world is, the infinite potential hiding within it. The view offered just that at this moment, a sight of true wonder. It was only shame that there was a sense of purpose behind the silver haired girl's flight, a destination they would eventually reach. And when that came to pass, they once more had to walk the earth beneath their feet, devoid of the grand space offered in the skies. Perhaps another day, the girl could take her crimson haired partner to the skies for the sole purpose of enjoying the freedom of it all. Why not, if they would get along. But that fact had to yet be decided by the upcoming adventure the two of them would have. But already, the Eden's mage sensed that it would be a grand one indeed. After all, they were even vising a completely foreign world for it. And that certainly had to add some mystery points to it all.
"At any time. These wings were designed for a purpose after all. And they finally had the chance of shining in the eyes of others~"
The girl would answer with a teasing and playful note, her smile dancing on the pale skin which adorned her body ever so gently. It was sometimes surprising just how well she could take care of her own physical form while still going through difficult contracts where one would receive more than just few minor bumps and bruises. Well, being made out of magical energy rather than proper flesh and blood probably helped some. It recalled to a moment when Leila met a funny young blonde-haired lass who asked what shampoo she was using the moment they started talking. Simply remembering such event made the girl chuckle as her hand was suddenly grabbed, both her and Leah suddenly dragged through the mythical portal into unknown by her partner's strength and resolve alone. Thankfully, it was not one of those situations where there would be danger waiting on the beyond the door. Instead, they were greeted by somewhat lackluster environment surrounding them. But that probably just had to be expected from this one spot.
"Don't worry. This is but one of the many hill peaks that we can visit in this world. As the one with the portal itself on it, it's unfortunately only natural that this place is nothing but dirt. People already ravaged it's beauty. On the other hand, the way this world is, not many can reach other places here. Means they should look much more pretty than this one!"
She tried to share some of her otherworldly knowledge as the nameless golem emerged from the portal as well, clearly not phased by it, nor exceedingly excited in any matter. Not that it was easy to read emotions from mister leather-face in any way. Leila on the other hand laughed some again as she heard Leah's remark on stairs being anywhere in this world. Maybe there was someone mad enough to actually build some somewhere, but none right around this place it looked like. And as their goal clearly wasn't in this particular location, the silver haired maiden would approach her new partner and kneel down in front of her in rather fancy manner, even taking away her top hat to gesture with it in some way, offering her other hand towards the red haired lady.
"Does the princess require transporting service again? Me, the humble servant, is ready to use these wings to their purpose at any moment!"
She joked too in her own way, playing on the fact that she would probably hold Leah in her embrace few more times today. Definitely wasn't a bad thing for her, but how did the other girl feel about it? There were no complaints when they flew across Earthland, but now could be a bit different, seeing how she would not be as distracted by a beautiful scenery as before. Still was worth a shot in her opinion though. Never waste an opportunity to get close to a pretty girl! For if Leila was cursed enough to never have a functioning relationship in her life, at least she could try to enjoy herself some, right? And she actually kinda liked playing the knight for a not-so-fragile princess, strangely enough.

The redhead tried to smile at the idea that there were other places still untouched by man's ravenous hand (always wanting to suck the land dry). Leila's soft (yet confident?) and reassuring voice did help her to feel a bit better about the state of things in the world, although not by much. She had faith in humans' ability to adapt and go to the beyond, just like the people of Fiore and Earthland had managed to do with the Wakusei Portals in the first place. But with any luck and to look on the bright side, whoever had ruined this planet would never find another place to basically deconstruct. So in the end, Leah only nodded in response to the silver haired girl's comments and replied slowly, "I hope that you are right in the life that exists elsewhere," she said as she smiled weakly at her comrade.
In the next moment, however, she was distracted from any thoughts of dying, barren planets when the slim female who had flown the two here stepped lightly over to the ReQuip mage and bent down as though she were about to be knighted. Even further, Leila slipped off her hat and tipped it to the redhead in the way of a member of the gentry, leaving the emerald eyed girl rather at a loss for what to do. Because she knew that she had no way of knowing what was the right way to respond (having never taken classes on chivalry or even decorum of any sort), she gave up scouring her brain for memories of what the right course of action was. Instead, Leah could only place her own hand carefully in the sapphire eyed female's and give her as steady of a smile as she could manage. This was all honestly rather overwhelming, but not necessarily in a bad way.
"You're definitely not a servant of any kind," she said with a surety that left no room for argument, "At least not to me. I'm sure your kindness might lead you to serve the earth or the good of all," the girl continued before she bit her tongue to keep from rambling on too much. "And so much more than a transporting service," these few words made it out before the redhead finally got a grasp on her own voice and became much more in control. With as much grace as she could manage, the female pulled Leila to her feet and would reach in to hold her in a brief embrace if it was possible. Even if the two ended up flying together quite often during this... could it be called a mission? During this journey, that was, she most certainly didn't want the other girl to consider herself just there for the wings, despite whether or not it was just a joke. For some reason, any kind of thinking like that made Leah feel indignant for the silver haired mage.
"But I, I mean yes, I do, erm, I need your help again," the words toppled and stumbled out of her mouth in a haphazard fashion before Leah dropped her eyes to the ground with slightly burning cheeks. Hello social incompetence. When the two finally were on their way up through the air, she heard the blood rushing through her ears and was only glad that it was no longer turning her face a bright beet red. How embarrassing! The thought made the emerald eyed girl want to burrow her visage into Leila's shoulder or something, but then that idea only caused the ReQuip mage to feel as though she was about to die of mortification. Unwilling to meet those sapphire eyes, she stared fixedly up at the thick layer of clouds as the two approached it, wondering what would happen when they went through. They were only clouds, right? Water vapor or condensation or... or something like that. Yet she couldn't resist the abrupt inhale and holding of breath right before they touched the fluffy white mass, although in the end there was absolutely zero problems as the pair passed through.
Her eyes alighted on dangling roots first, and then they moved to soil that seemed to be both soaked with water and clinging between the interwoven roots. Then even further did her field of vision reach as the two mages flew higher, and Leah was able to catch sight of a lush green forest that seemed to be comprised of thick trunked trees that were decidedly ages old. It seemed odd, considering how the famed floating islands above Sukai were recent inventions as a tourist attraction, but that wasn't her primary worry at the moment. Instead, she was peering with a slight frown at the slight shimmer in the air that seemed present above the tops of said trees. When the two grew closer in an attempt to fly over the forest, the redhead's senses suddenly seemed to grow sharper and she said quietly, "If we try to fly over, it might... zap us, or something. I think it's a requirement that we walk through that forest, for some reason," her troubled tone coming through. It wasn't particularly a common thing, but some ruins were surrounded by magical fields that protected them from being penetrated and robbed by those who wished no good will upon the sites. However, they had no control over those who simply walked in, without any magical means of travel. Only jurisdiction over something like teleportation or flight.

Leila Vergious • Golden Phoenix • D Rank
Leah did appear perfectly human, both with her appearance and the power that radiated from her very being. Of course that was not the best way of judging one's true origin, for Leila seemed pretty much the same. However, it would explain the way of thinking this female had. It somehow placed a faint smile onto the silver haired maiden's expression. Humans were extremely greedy creatures that tried to bind the nature itself to their command, using all of it's natural resources just to make their lives a bit easier. But what would happen once these resources run out? What will the humanity do then? Will it simply perish, or will it continue on to a different world, destroying it just as they did Earthland? No one could know the answer to that question as of yet. But the girl knew how certain humans tried to subdue the power of her own world, Gardens of Eden. A portion of the azure green forest was still corrupted because of that, not a very pretty sight in the slightest. But even then, the goddess that created the gardens forgave the humans in the end. And now, that world was slowly coming back to life.
"There is. And I am sure you will be able to see it one day!"
She then finally replied to Leah about the words that she let loose. If nothing else, she herself could show the redhead. That world which was so precious to her. Though that was a story for another day, as right now, they had to explore Sukai first. And what a journey it was already with her partner already getting somewhat embarrassed and defensive about things. Leila could only laugh lightly at the words she said and as she helped her get back up to her feet. "Serve the earth or the good of all, you say? All includes you as well, Leah~
And right now, I won't be stopped from playing a flying knight for you. She spoke out in teasing voice, playing with the other female a bit. This was definitely not a bad thing. The desire to serve... no, to help someone whenever you could. It meant that the person has yet to give up on the world. And Leila was most definitely not giving up. But perhaps it was little to soon to be playing these games, as the two girls did not quite know each other that well yet.
So for now, the silver haired maiden would embrace Leah once more and firmly hold her in those hands of hers as they took off, the golem revealing his mechanical wings behind them as well. He was silent through the entire ordeal, which was probably fine. But it was interesting to observe the change, as he was completely different when it was just him and her on the journey. Still, she knew that her father was content with simply observing how his daughter gets along with others. This time, the flight did not take as long, for it was simply just them diving into the blanket of clouds, piercing it in swift motion and leaving a trail of white behind them. Leila herself did this few times already on her own, pretty much as soon as she gained the ability to freely fly in the skies. Why? Because she was curious like a little child, why else? But she did get this strange feeling that Leah did enjoy it some as well, even if the experience did leave them somewhat wet. At least their attires were not of the kind that turned transparent when exposed to liquid.
"Zap us? I don't really feel anything off, but best to not risk it. If princess says we should land, then we shall~"
Once again with the teasing, perhaps Leila was enjoying herself too much? Well, she stopped for now as their feet touched the solid ground once more, trees suddenly enveloping them from all sides. The forest seemed thick and almost never-ending. Not that it was a bad thing, at least for the Eden's mage. After all, she was something akin to a nature spirit and places like this one were pretty much perfect for her. Once Leah got her own space to move around, Leila would stretch a little and look around. "Well, a walk through some pretty nature should be fine too, yes? And there are three of us, so if any forest predators show up, we should be fine in terms of defending ourselves." Little did she know that it was not beasts that would be coming after them soon but something possibly even worse.

The girl blushed again, nearly as red as her fiery hair by now, when Leila referred to her as a princess. Instead of trying to get out some kind of protest, she knew that any attempts to speak would come out as embarrassing stutters. Rather than trying to fight through that since she felt it would end in failure, (shyness rarely got to Leah but it was pretty strong right now), the mage dropped her eyes to the ground. This turned out to be something of a poor decision though, because looking at the tops of the trees so far away made the female uncomfortable, she really couldn't help it. After all, being afraid of heights was normal (and surprisingly, she wasn't as fearful of falling as she would have expected normally in this kind of situation). Thankfully, it seemed that the silver haired girl was willing to land. This boded well for both the redhead's nerves and her concerns about entering that strange field that seemed to hover over the trees that had grown in closest together.
It was quite beautiful down on the ground. Leah couldn't resist breathing in deeply, feeling the fog of humidity as it crept down her lungs; warm climates were usually better than cold, in her opinion at least. With a nod and a smile in Leila's direction, as a response to her statement that the trio would be fine should any beasts try to attack, the redhead walked forwards a few hesitant paces. Eventually, her steps became much more confident, especially when nothing happened within at least ten minutes of travelling. That was soon to change though, for a thin sound (the kind that came from the scrape of metal on metal, like a dagger being drawn from a fancy scabbard) caught her ears, and the mage was hitting the damp forest floor before she could even put her reactions into coherent thoughts. A man stood in front of the group, waving around a gaudy knife that actually worried the mage a slight bit.
Not because she thought he was a threat, but because that was an expensive looking thing and in addition to the fact that he didn't seem to even know how to hold one properly, it was likely that the man was a robber. And petty thieves usually came in crews. "We haven't got any money," Leah hissed as she rose to her feet, one hand nonchalantly flipping an Imperial Dagger that had been requipped without hesitation. "We don't believe you li'l lady, so put down that pig sticker and ain't nobody gonna get hurt," he sneered. The use of the word 'we' put the mage on high alert, because it meant he had indeed brought companions with him. Hopefully Leila would be alright if they ended up getting into a fight, because that seemed to be the way everything was headed right now. Surprisingly, though, the emerald eyed female had a large amount of confidence in her fellow guild mate, and not just because of the hulking father that followed her wherever she went.
"Scram before we make you," she warned coolly, her other hand now spinning around another High Imperial Dagger. The light glinted off the edge in the forest, where everything seemed to be half obscured because of the thickness of the tree tops. He unfortunately did not listen and dove for her, flames flickering from his fingertips. Without letting another moment pass by, the redhead snorted out a brief sound of amusement before her slim fingers were still spinning the knife around and around, just into the man's belly. At the last moment, she pulled away, uncertain of whether it was okay to kill them just yet. Maybe Leila was a strict pacifist, or this was part of the test? But why the robbers if the second was the case... ?
Her brow furrowed with annoyance when maybe thirty other scallions, both men and women alike, skulked out from between the trees and stared at the two females and the golem. "Leila, let's go," Leah said as quietly as she could manage, but her intent wasn't exactly to flee without being heard and noticed. She just didn't want to disturb or alert anything else that was lurking around and waiting to strike. "Do you trust me?" she murmured. If the answer was an affirmative response, then the mage would go ahead and scoop up the silver haired girl in the same fashion she had carried the emerald eyed female before. Ilosa usually was willing to help the ReQuip mage if she was in a sticky situation, and so Leah had no doubt that the pegasus would shadow teleport the trio out if it was necessary. But not too far... they would probably still end up in the forest. If Leila thought it was sketchy or was unsure of what was happening and whether she could in fact trust the other mage, then they could fight it out. These were just low level miscreants anyways, it was only that the girl avoided battle when she could.

Leila Vergious • Golden Phoenix • C Rank
It was amusing to watch Leah's face turn redder by the moment due to one single word, yet the girl couldn't adore it for too long as she had to focus on making sure that they don't crash into the many trees around them. This forest was thick and almost resembling a jungle if the vegetation was of slightly different type. It was actually quite surprising, how she got to such place with this attitude. It was best to not think about it, but now that her thoughts wandered there on their own... she grew rather sad. It didn't seem like the other girl really noticed that, as it was quite momentary, the Eden girl's expression shifting back into smile in mere moments. But it would probably be few more minutes before she could call Leah 'princess' again. Was it even right to call anyone that? After all, her true princess and the one she wished to be with had abandoned her for a man who did what she could never do. And now it was all lost, impossible to recover for the saddened female. Such was her tale, one of irony and cruel goodbyes. Perhaps seeing others in such high regard was but a method of hers to deal with it. A selfish act that others would frown upon.
But the nature around them was something different, something she had true connection to. One which would never be severed, even by death itself. It helped ease her mind, focus on the task at hand. Without a single word, they would start walking forward into the unknown depths of this place, Leila right by the redhead's side while the Golem moved swiftly behind them, scanning the area for possible hostiles. After all, they had absolutely no idea what could jump on them here. Thankfully that too was part of the fun, as unknown itself was great motivation factor for the silver haired maiden. She was a wanderer, explorer. And while this place hid seemingly nothing new for humans as a whole race, it was still all new for herself. Not only what was around them, but also those that would surround them in mere moments. Leah was the first one to notice it, clearly showing that she was more experienced or at least more powerful than the rest of the group. But even the golem silently and carefully placed his mechanical hand on his daughter's shoulder from behind, stopping her in her tracks.
"Hm? What's up...?"
Instead of a verbal answer, she would notice it too. One of the goons that move out from the bushes, brandishing a sword in his tight grip. Well, this was unexpected. If something was to attack them, she had thought it really would be some interesting beast, native to this world and this forest. Instead, they got mere humans, thieves on top of that. It actually forced a sigh between the girl's lips as she scratched her head a bit, listening to the clown speak and then her partner's actions. Well, she certainly was something. Re-quip magic? An actual one too. Leila herself possessed the magic, but had absolutely no objects of worth that could be used for it. So instead, she just had it in case she ever wanted to change her casual outfit or something. Though even for that she now had a special pendant that rested in one of her pockets, an item that grew quite dear to her.
But back to the situation, it was obvious that this guy was not here alone. Closing her eyes, the Eden's mage would strengthen the connection between her body and this palce, starting to count. Ten... twenty... about thirty along with this one. That was quite the gang indeed, how did they managed to surround them so effectively without having them notice? Well, at least they didn't seem too powerful so it shouldn't be that hard to fight through. Those were Leila's thoughts, quickly dispersed by her partner who asked her if she trusted her? Well, that was kinda odd question. In situation like this, it had to mean that Leah had an ace up her sleeve that could be a bit questionable in it's nature, at last at first gaze. But that too was a factor which brought excitement and a smile to the girl's face as she nodded quickly.
"Of course I trust you. Do your magic!"
She honestly expected Leah to bring out some majestic weapon of mass destruction or something with potential to harm Leila as well. What she did not expect was for the other girl to grab her like that and suddenly whisk her away from this place, leaving the gang confused and baffled. Just like that, the duo ended up someplace different, though still very much in the thick of this vegetation. Wait... duo? The golem was not transported, presumably because he was not holding on to Leah when the teleportation occurred. Well, it was probably fine. Despite the girl's unsure gaze towards the other part of the forest, he was strong and fast. Surely he would get out of that situation by himself just as fine. Trust was important in situations like these. So instead of worrying herself, she would wrap her hands around the redhead's neck neck she still held her, grinning.
"My hero~"
Unfortunately there was not much time to stand by. Those goons were not the only ones in this forest, not by far. Even where they teleported too, hostile presence could be sensed. And soon, more would emerged from behind the trees. At the start there were five, then ten. Looking different from those before, these guys held unpleasant looking syringes in their hands and one look at their eyes could tell that whatever was inside of those was probably inside of them as well. As much s the blue eyed girl disliked it, she jumped down from her partner's embrace and prepared herself, smile still adorning her expression even when facing so many threats. She knew that Leah was strong, but so was she! At least in one way or another. And she wanted to get that message across, so that the other girl wouldn't have to worry about her in case something bad was to happen.
"I already got used to this forest. And I absolutely cannot stand seeing pretty girls assaulted by brutes, so let me handle these guys, Leah."
Hopefully the girl would listen at least to some extend. And as the junkies started charging at them one by one, Leila simply extended her hand forward. There was a meaning to her saying that she got used to this forest. Activating her magic, one of the large nearby trees started moving as if it was sentient living being, it's flexible trunk turning and twisting as it suddenly swooped down and crashed into those that decided it was good idea to attack the duo head on. While her main source of power were the Gardens of Eden, normal nature obeyed Leila as well. And in this place there was plenty of it! All the nearby trees started shifting around and lowering themselves to form a cage around the enemies.
Simple gesture of clenching her fist was then enough to make the cage start getting smaller until it started crushing several of them. But just as Leah thought, Leila was rather against killing sentient creatures. She would stop as soon as her enemies passed out from the pressure placed on their body and then the trees started moving back to their original place. Several were still around though. This time, she herself started charging towards them, slipping past the slower reacting red eyes of theirs, punching one in the face as her own hand transformed slightly, looking like if it was made out of wood. And as he was about to fly back from the force hitting him, that very hand started transforming further, several branches extending from it to hit the man few more times and send him literally flying and crashing into a nearby tree.
A silver longbow materialized in her other hand as she aimed it at another one, her arrows forming as she pulled back the string. They were blue in color and made purely out of magical energy, making sure that the girl had no need for any regular arrows that could run out. Shooting several times in quick succession, the blows pierced the junkie but left no visible damage even as he fell to the ground unmoving, but still breathing. Only one left, approaching her from behind with the needle ready, wanting to inject whatever was inside of it into her neck. Was it too late for her to dodge it? Yes. But the blow still did not connect, as an explosion tore the man's back apart. Not a lethal strike, but a damn painful one that would leave a good burn mark. It was from her father who now stood between the trees, finally catching up tho the girls, his hand reassembled into a cannot capable of shooting explosive bolts. With a sigh of relief, she winked at her father and then showed thumbs up to Leah. Hopefully this was enough of a display for now.
