A new face at the docks (Nekros/Intro)

---

Fresh out of hell and lookin’ fine. Literally. The months that have passed  felt like an eternity to this mage. Torture, work, worshipping, or anything else the inhabitants of hell could come up with. Why was he there? For none other than being a sloth and laziying about when he should have been working towards his now previous affiliation. However, due to the sudden disappearance of the Grims, Jaeger was kicked out for not being worth very much. What a kick in the nads, right? Must be pretty lame if Hell doesn’t have a need or want for you; real hit to the ego meter. BUT! He was free to live and enjoy his life now. A fresh start was in order. No family, no guild, Nava was gone and hopefully living his own life to the fullest.

Unfortunately, this new beginning wasn’t going to start off all too pleasantly. The man felt weaker, power drained from his body and unable to just regain it by leaving his nightmare. Magic that he once knew was gone, his power to merge or use trees, kaput. Perhaps it only needed time to return. Poofing into another realm may just have some side effects. Speaking of… where was our returning champion? It was dark, the feeling of glass and straw all over the place. The only real familiar thing he could gather was the small of wood, but why only that? Surely he wasn’t in some kind of wine crate. How would he even have gotten in here? Why was he in here? AND WHY IS THE RIDE SO ROUGH?! If this was a crate of glass bottles, whoever was moving this crate would need to take much better care.

Once all the rough moving stopped, Jaeger took a closer listen. Finally, sounds of muffled voiced he could hear. It was time to emerge and break free of this horrible respawn point. It took a few tries, but he could hear the crowbars prying the lid open. NOW! Free yourself Jaeger! The blonde haired mage thrusted himself upward the best he could and with the help of the people outside opening the lid, the mage was free.



Arms stretched out and a deep breath of fresh air. A golden necklace bounces around, gleaming off the sunlight. That was something foreign, Jaeger doesn’t remember getting this and by looking around, the effects of his blood didn’t seem to be affecting the general populace. Perhaps this accessory and the missing auras are connected. Further searching around and down, he noticed one of the bottled had leaked or broken a bit in the travels. His white, open vest had a deep red stain on it.

He was fiddling with the golden necklace that was now around his neck. It was strange, something he didn’t have before his detour to the plain of hell. A mystery after a mystery. First he pops into existence in the middle of a crate of wine, then he is taken to some unknown port, his blood abilities aren't working, and now some random accessory is hanging from his neck. Those tormentors really did a number on him, maybe he really did have it beforehand and just can’t remember. Jaeger was so enamored with it, he almost didn’t notice the black haired man approach and begin speaking.



Knowing where he just was, he thought the pun of his word s deserved as mall chuckled.



Jaeger pauses, thinking that it would be awkward to start going down that path.



After answering the man’s first question, he went to get out of the crate. While he enjoys his booze, spending more time in a small space with it was enough. Jaeger dusted some of the packaging hay/strall off his pants. Suddenly, He was covered in smoke that seemed to just takeover the strong wine smell and just push it off the cliff. He didn’t mind, it wasn’t an unpleasant smell or anything, just a little out of the ordinary.

Was there any doubt?! Jaeger wasn’t some common liar! A goofball and perhaps storyteller…. But no liar, No siree bob! A Joker, a grinner, a lover, a sinner, and even a space cowboy, telling fibs wasn’t one of his titles. Of course, it was quite the high tale; Who in their right minds would be able to say they escaped hell? It’s for naughty souls of the damned… for the… well he was a bit of a sinner. The man couldn’t very well argue against it.



His hunches were correct! They were indeed a merchant guild and always looking for more workers. Luck was on his side now. Though, testing doesn’t sound like fun, hopefully it won’t be too bad. Jaeger just wants to earn some jewels, lounge about on any time off, and start enjoying his days again. It’s been quite a while since he could just do that. Dark things after dark, to hell and back, and even his sour days after being dumped. Just… everything needed to get back to some sort of normality.



The free agent started to follow this Sol fellow, accepting his condition of acting out and accepting the test that was needed. It was only fair, he couldn’t just let some any old bum come into the guild and ruin their reputation one way or another. Jaeger was ready, he could feel it! As he strolled along with this Sol person, he could feel the magic returning. The only thing was, it wasn’t as strong as it was before. It felt like when he first started his magical journey. No stronger spells, his ability to just control tree and plants weren’t there immediately. Not only that, the magic he journeyed miles to get,for a purpose that at the time was very important. Only time would tell if it were to come back.

Now that the mage could get out of his boozie prison of a box and walk around a bit, the town he was in was pretty lively. Traders were out and about selling their goods; Shouting out about how great their prices were or any sort of special deals to be had. The towns people, used to it, seemed to know what they were looking for, what deals are worth it, and which to avoid. Any sort of tourists seem to be in awe of the amount of goods that were being sold, traded, or even how much goods are just carted around from the docks to the shops, stalls, and wherever else goods would be sold.

Sol lead Jaeger through the town into the main headquarters for the guild. It was a large building, employees rushing around, some taking their time, but all were busy with their work. Most knew the man in the lead, he seemed to be very popular around here. Given that he is also giving him the test, perhaps this Sol Terumi was fairly high up in the West Fiore Trading Company. Jaeger just nodded to the people that would or might have greeted him. It was a good looking office space. The lobby felt pretty open even in the rush of the day.

Door by door passed them as Sol snaked his way through the building, leading the hopeful recruit through and into another room. This one seemed… different. Jaeger could sense and feel the magic in the air, but it was one he couldn't pinpoint or know about. Within a moments notice, it changed. The ground was soft and vibrant grass. The sky was now open and visible to them as it was now them in a large field. This scenery certainly was a lot better for a spar than some office building, even if the sudden change was a little hard to comprehend at first.



And with that, he activated a spell and lowered himself into the grassland below. A key point to his magic, allowing him to merge with nature itself. A great way to travel, hide, and even lay in wait for surprise attacks. His magic was now,seemingly, one with the planet they would be inhabiting. Once in, the only thing he would leave behind was his golden necklace. The short time that he was in the crate, talking with this man, and walking to this training area, Jaeger had an idea on what it was for. Once off, his blood began surging once again with power. The aura he once extruded from before his hellish trip returned. The Curses of Insanity and Withering were once again in effect. “Nifty” He thought thinking of the accessory he left behind.

Oh how good it felt to be submerged under ground once again. The texture of the dirt, stone, mud, clay, and other materials… it just felt so right feeling them as he would pass through each layer. The memories of his past exploits came back, the fun it was to just shift and phase through the terrain like it was nothing, almost nothing was better. It allowed for a certain type of freedom to be had, something similar to flying in the sky like a bird or gust of wind. However, this wasn’t the time to waste and enjoy the surroundings. Jaeger was in the middle of a test! No lollygagging allowed.

Below, Jaeger shifted through the earth. Now, it would be up to his enhanced senses to feel through magic and pinpoint his opponent. Now, his opponent could hide his presence, especially since this Sol was likely much stronger than him. While the magic the recruiting mage had increased his sensing ability, there were still limits until he himself got stronger. Above, he could feel the business man; he was moving towards where the nature mage had disappeared. This was his chance, a surprise attack and plan to help it work!

Close to the spot the mage merged, he summoned a tree to take root and sprout rapidly into a fully grown oak tree. First, a blanket technique! Jaeger swerves around and unmerges enough to use another spell. The mage reels back his hand and arm, and launched a punch into the tree. On the other side, aiming at Sol, a barrage of tree exploded out as shrapnel. However, it wasn’t without risk or fortune as Sol had used his own spell while Jaeger was in the dirt. A dark mist surrounded him, his tree, and even Sol. The thought ran through his mind… did he hit Sol? Did this smoke cloud the sensing enough to mess up the aim? Not only that, it stung. Stronger than some normal smoke screen should really do. ”What is this?”

Unfortunately, that wasn’t all. He could hear a small childish chuckle above him. Upon his tree sat a little girl, pink hair… holding a bright red fruit. This… this was all just a cruel joke! Jaeger never left… he was still being tortured in Hell! This takes the cake. They could have just kept at their usual routine, pretending to allow JAeger to escape or send him back to the world of the living was just unneeded.



He yelled out and began to sink back to the ground below.

The devil was at work here! How else would all this be explained? The damaging smoke, the creepy pink haired child, and even his tree turning into an apple tree! There was no other explanation, this is it. It was back to the hell he knew for more typical torture! Jaeger was just going to sink away back to his unneeded prison sentence and just leave this illusion behind. By doing so, he would no longer be free, though what is freedom in such a state; As he slinked through the ground, Jaeger lifted a hand and have the little girl the finger. A big F U to those that keep him in prison! This clearly didn’t go as planned as a large chain like weapon busted through the weaker points of the tree and wrapped around his wrist. While chains and bindings can be fun while with a lover, this is not a fun time when being chased down by a tormenter.

On the other end of the chain, he could not see. However, in a higher pitch and girlish like voice, someone spoke out. They didn't want him ducking and escaping the punishment that was waiting for him. It was completely unfair! He’s been a good boy… albeit a little lazy… but still! These demonic girls can all go to… hell. It doesn’t make much sense as that’s apparently where he already was… never mind that. He wasn’t ready to go back… he wanted to lounge around in the nice cool air again. Along with all this dose of nightmare, Jaeger couldn’t keep his golden hunk form up. His long blonde hair shrunk and darkened to black. His clothing going from a nice white vest with loose pants morphed into that of a very fine black suit. Lastly, the most important feature, horns shot out of his skull and formed out. Now sits a true Jaeger, half way into the ground being held out but a tightly tugged chain by the wrist.

A larger pink haired girl was standing above him, talking down to him. Clearly, she didn’t understand what just happened. If his initial intent was to run away when the test started, Jaeger could be here, kept from the earth by a chain. The tree wouldn’t have spawned nor would his Shark Tooth attack have gone off. Hiding, sure. Why be an obvious target when you can attack from out of sight. Especially if one has teammates or ways of halting enemy units, much like this smoke. It would halt someone in their tracks for a moment, a split second that could make for the perfect opportunity to strike. Though, of course he was trying to get away from all the pink haired children, apples, and other such nightmare fuel. More thought into it, the devil child was correct, he was running, though not from the fight he was tossed into.

Now that he’s been, a struggle wouldn't work. His opponent was holding him with quite the strength, given the abilities being used, it was very much likely Sol was a much stronger mage and very much capable of handling that chain with ease. His only choice, whether he liked it or nor, was to turn attention to this pink abominations and get back to what he was doing with Sol. His own plotting left him deaf to the rest of the child’s monologue, something about enemies and jobs and such, but would would she know of jobs?! Anyway, he needed to attack and get out of this chain, if possible.

With his hand already outstretched and held, he motioned with his hand, one that looked as if the appendage went limp. Back at his tree, several leaves detached from the tree and spun towards the back of the girl. These weren’t just any normal leafs anymore, they were razor sharp.

A HIT! The surprise was successful. But not as damaging as one in a battle would want. A random joe, probably would have been hurt more by it, but wizards tend to have magical enhancements directly from their spells or indirecting just from having a certain type of magic. Much like his enhanced sensing and previously enhanced defense against nature based magics or even the strength of ones blood just amplifies the bodies attributes and affinity for strength and endurance. For mages, so many things go into making them up. However, due to his own… life like reset on magic, Jaeger was about to be in a world of hurt; his own body wasn't as strong as it once was.

The razor leafs only seemed to anger him a bit, he was likely doing more damage through the curse of withering than the sneak attack. With incredible speed, the pink haired childs hand moved from the chain to his hand that was being held up,this wasn’t going to be good. With all the might he could muster, he clings onto and into the ground. His strength just wasn’t enough to keep a hold, Jaeger was being lifted up and out of his spot. One last thing to try before he ran out of the idea train. Summoning tree roots to wrap and cling to his other arm, Jaeger now had a shield of sorts after being just dragged out of the ground.

The man brought it up, using it to divide himself and the child from any blows that would come. What would happen next wasn’t what he expected. Expectations gave the nature one an idea of a spell being used, having being held in the air like he was. However, the rational side of things, one should have seen this coming. Jaeger was then slammed down onto the ground, once, twice, THREE TIMES SOLD. His shield helped a bit on the first ground pound, but just started crumbling bit by bit on the other two. It wasn’t really meant to be used on stronger attacks, but its the last grab he had in his bag.

When the dust cleared, the attacks over, and clouds of smoke dispersed, all that was left was Sol and Jaeger. The pink haired ones were no longer around, the apples that seemed to have sprung from his tree were no longer there. The mist was a good thing for his opponent, it was similar and stronger than his Curse of Insanity. SOl mentioned something about battles… puny something, and something else. There was a bit of a ringing in his head and couldn’t make out much. All he could do was let out a somewhat higher pitched wheeze and groan.

While Jaeger has taken a bit of a beating today, for now it seems has found new home.



His voice was a bit out as he was trying to regain his breath.
