Hunt a Thing or Ten (job with Yuiisai and Frederik)

Life was utterly boring. Since he had joined up with the dark guild Nightmare Dahau had nothing to do. Or to be more accurate, he had lost the will to do basically anything. Back in Savage Skull he was at his prime, the apex mage among a horde of ruffians, murderers and any other kind of criminal you could imagine. He ordered them, his will was law. But now, now he had no cause anymore and he spent most of his days in the main hall of his new guild.
It was one of the most densely populated places in the guild and was, in fact, brimming with activity. Groups gathered here, plans were being forged and there was even a mage who was playing on his lute while singing words that didn't match the melody. Actually he wasn't even singing, instead, he'd called out to the mages in the hall asking for participants in a hunt. If Dahau was correct, then this green haired young man went by the name of Baird. He had seen him around the Guildhall from time to time, and actually heard some promising things about him. Apparently, the lad had a unique kind of magic that came in rather handy during their raid on Black Rose.
The hunt sounded quite interesting, if it was as infamous as the hunts of Savage Skull then this might just be the very thing that he needed. Some pastime activity to get back into the game. And he got to learn about this new mage, or rather his magic which harnassed just right could be of use.

With a scraping sound Dahau pushed back his chair and stood up from the table in the back, and as he stepped out of the shadows that shrouded him in mystery until now he declared loudly 'I'll join your hunt!' Dahau appeared as a man of stature, tall with broad shoulders he easily towered above most of the mages. But it wasn't his physique alone. His entire demeanor had a certain hint of elitism about it, this was a man born to rule, to conquer and dominate by all means. His attire was the finishing touch, clad in high-grade armor and with a long cloak dragging behind him as he approached the musician. The heel of his boot clacked harshly against the cold pavement of the guild.

'So what are we hunting?' he inquired the moment he stood before Baird. 'Beasts? Monsters? Or a far more interesting prey?' Back at his old guild, hunting was a frequent activity. Surrounded by marshes and woodlands there was more than enough interesting creatures to hunt. From feral boars with sharp tusks to enormous leeches that could swallow a horse whole. However, nothing was more thrilling then hunting human. Or any humanoid for that matter. Their intelligence and ability to adapt to most situations always made sure those hunts were a pleasure.

Yuii wasn't in her armchair reading for a change, in fact she was in one of the many training halls practising her dancing, much of her magic required very precise movements or motions to work effectively. Well there was that and she was developing more spells to add to her arsenal but given how many clowns, jesters and fools there where around the place it made such things near impossible due to constant distractions and yelling. She had still made some headway she thought and for now moved around with a graceful elegance one would expect for someone like her as she continued to practice her dancing. Light crystals started to form around her as did a few magic circles but just as she was starting to almost get the hang of it she heard yelling from the main hall of the guild. making her trip over her own foot and land hard on the ground. She couldn't help mutter how she was ready to kill the moron who would do such a thing, but she had a funny feeling she knew who it was given the first job she done since joining the guild a short while a go. "Please gods, anyone but him... at least if you want to have mercy on his body cause I doubt he has a soul." she growled standing dusting off her baby green and pink hanbok she was wearing before checking her pins and combs were how they should have been.

Wish a frustrated sigh she moved towards the training hall doors pushing them forward and there he was, the one that he truly wished that it wasn't. Bringing her foot back she allowed it to slip out of her baby green and pink silk slipper shoe before picking it up and throwing it directly at Baird's head where she watched it connect hard before falling to the ground. Not only was she holding the bottom of her hanbok up but had her unshoed foot a quarter inch off the floor glaring directly at Baird. "Moron, there are other ways to ask for help than shouting!" she scolded, it was clear she was agitated by the green haired male, after annoyed sigh she pointed to her shoe "The least you can do is give me back my shoe and if it's damaged because of your thick head you're paying for a replacement pair." she complained waiting for him to bring back her shoe before she was going to do anything because if she had to walk to it there was going to be blood being spilt namely Baird's. If and when it was returned to her wither he placed it on her foot or she done it herself she would sigh quietly before rubbing her temple a little knowing there was no backing out of this task now.

Placing her foot down she looked to the elder mage whom seemed to have agreed to go on this task for a long moment before her milky blue jade eyes moved back to Baird. "You said or well yelled that you wanted to go on a hunt and are looking for others to join you..." she put out her hand for the job flyer from him so she could read it, when given to her her eyes narrowed seeing where it was located she didn't care about what was hunting she wanted to take that mountain down and so grabbed the musical mage by the back of his top dragging him out of the hall knowing that the elder mage had already agreed. What none would know due to Yuii's androgynous look was that she had turned into a he due to now being more aggressive in their wants. "I don't care what we're hunting, I want that mountain to burn." he growled making his intentions known, the four elements of his magic now seen in his eyes showing that his insanity and aggression had taken hold over the normal calm and gentle Yuiisai.

oh my, the bard wasn't a man of a few words. His voice went from normal to excite to normal again and in-between, he even sang some lyrics. If Daha had to describe this man in a friendly manner he, then eccentric was the right choice of words. Not that the other collected members of their small party could be considered normal. Dahau himself was a warmongering monster, prideful and with a wicked take on the world. He considered mages to be the ruling class of the world. And if it was up to him, most of the normal humans would be eradicated from the face of the earth, with the exception of the cannon fodder and the occasional sow for breeding purposes. The other one to join their little band was none other Yuissai, oriental in appearance and always appeared to be at odds with Baird. Not that Dahau could blame her, the green haired mage did seem to have a knack for getting under your skin.

'Anyway...' interrupted Dahau with an overtone that suggested he was annoyed by the current flow of the conversation 'Mountain or not, we will have to deal with this beast.' Honestly he didn't care for any personal grudges, especially against a landmark such as the Phoenix Mountain. Right now he only wanted to pummel something into a bloody pulp and if it wasn't going to be this beast then some of his fellow guild mates would help him relief some of his wrath. 'Honestly I don't really care if any of you blow up the mountain in the progress, nor don't I mind if a home or two gets destroyed during our quest, as long as I can get appeased by this beast... if not then the neighboring villages have to suffice. So shall we get going?'
The moment Dahau finished his sentence a rift appeared behing him, like a crack in reality itself which slowly spread until you could see an entirely different landscape in it. It was a tad vague, but you could easily see that is was a rather rocky landscape, with small islands of forests and towering peaks. The Phoenix Mountains. Without any further words, Dahau had turned around and stepped through the gate he himself created, assuming that the other two would follow naturally.
It was but a mere moment and Dahau could feel the heat of the sun on his bare skin, the fresh mountain air as it blew through his hair and made his cloak flutter. He stepped forwards, near the edge of a cliff and gazed upon nature's beauty that stretched out before him. Mountains with white tops, green forests between in the valleys and rock formations that separated them.

'Well then... shall we begin'' he said as he turned his head towards his comrades.

Yuiisai listened to both men as they spoke, he really couldn't give a damn at the end of the day. There was history between the finely dressed person and the guild that once stood atop the mountain they would be scaling. "It's not fun when you are practising and some noisy brat yells at the top of his lungs about wanting job partners!" she scolded him, it was clear as crystal that they weren't in the best of moods and would have just down right killed the other if it would have made their life easier. That of course came with it's own issues such as getting rid of the body, coming up with an alibi and of course an excuse why they weren't around anymore. Someone was bound to notice someone that noisy just disappearing all of a sudden. "How about being a grown up once in a while and using your indoor voice." she groaned, how he had survived to be as old as he was, was beyond her she was pretty sure nature would have taken its course and he would have put a fork into a plug socket by now just because he thought it was 'fun'. To be honest she was starting to wonder just how many times he was dropped on his head as a newborn and by how many floors was he dropped as a child, because that would explain so many things.

Hearing his next words she stood there shocked for a moment, she was beyond caught off guard when he said that her shoes remain on her unless she intended to take it all off. "I do take it all off..." she eventually said regaining her composure "Every time I bathe or change clothing" she said in a matter of fact way but then she leaned in placing her finger under his chin bringing his gaze up to meet hers as he placed her shoe on "but a little boy like you will never see such a thing, because I have more refined tastes" she whispered leaning into his ear "and even if I didn't I would still want a man not a noisy little boy." a sweet smile in her face but her eyes showed something darker within them, something more sinister. She read over the flyer once more taking in the information and still there was anger in her eyes seeing the location, she hated the guild that had once betrayed her after making her believe that they were the only ones who cared for her. That bad things happened if she wandered to far from them, she had later found out that the thing that had affected the village she had met Ahote in once more wasn't her fault; in fact she had eaten the magic and it had made her sick. She still have no idea this what had caused her amnesia however.

She turned her milky jade eyes towards the musician who seemed to be enjoying this a little to much in her opinion "I don't think you'll make it to the mountain at this rate." she said coldly as she continued to walk dragging him but stopped seeing a portal appearing, this was something new she didn't think such a thing could be used but here it was. Her eyes turning to the elder male "Your doing I presume since if it was music for brains it be as loud and annoying as he and his hair are." she said dropping her grip on Baird not caring if he hit the floor or not. She did however attempt to slap him so hard that an echo could be heard around the guild hall should it connect "That's for calling me sweetheart, I'd rather be with a bum than you." she said before walking through the portal and reemerging on the mountain shivering, she had forgotten just how cold it was here. Her eyes going over the untouched snow until she seen smoke in the distance and so pointed towards it "I would say we should start there, if nothing else we can get the information on were we should be going." she said starting to head towards the direction of the smoke without another word.
