    Conviction never shames nor condemns us.
    It calls us back to who we truly are.
    “Jellisha! Grappa! Are you two ready to go?”

    Serilda called to the two Exceeds as she descended the stairs, making her way to the front lounge. It was early in the morning, the sun having only just broken past the horizon little more than two hours prior. The girls essentially lived with her and Mythal at this point. At first the arrangement had been a temporary solution to a sudden and unforeseen occurrence. Namely, the birth of the twins when the two god slayers stumbled upon their egg and accidentally triggered its hatching. The girls had been so new to the world with no one to help guide their way, so she and Mythal had offered to house them for a time until they could all figure out where to go from there.

    Except, the talk of changing the current arrangement had simply never come up. At this point, it likely never would. Mythal and Serilda had become quite attached to the twins, even thinking of them and treating them like daughters -- though that specific word was almost purposefully avoided. Not for the sake of the girls, of course, but because the two humans had never really talked about their future together, and where they wanted it to go. They’d never talked about having a family, a subject which was a bit sensitive to bring up for the both of them if for vastly different reasons.

    Hell, the two of them didn’t even technically live together, at least not officially. Serilda’s high class noble family loved Mythal very much, but still held certain expectations about the propriety of living with someone before being married to them. Serilda’s mother was the only one who knew that the two were sexually active, mostly because if her father found out it would cause a lot of drama. So for now they maintained having two separate residences, even though realistically they just took turns staying the night at one another’s homes. And no matter where they chose to stay for the night, Grappa and Jellisha stayed with them as well. The girls even had a room at each home, where they could spend their evenings with Mythal and Serilda like a family.

    Today, they were at Serilda’s house in Era. It was more of a mansion, really, albeit a small one. Her role as both the heiress of her father’s noble title and the head of the Rune Knights meant that she needed to be ready at all times to show her best, even at home. It was always possible that a member of the council or an ambassador from another country might need her to host them at her home, and she was determined to look and act the part of someone worthy of all her various titles; especially now that she was a member of the prestigious Wizard Saints.

    Since they joined the Rune Knights, Grappa and Jellisha had wasted no time in focusing on bettering themselves as Knights and as mages. They had quickly proven themselves capable and determined, and the time had come for Serilda to take them on an official job, something that would really test their mettle and challenge them to grow stronger. She’d received a job posting from a village in the Silent Glaciers that was seeking help putting an end to a large number of troublesome ghosts that haunted a nearby cave. After bringing the job up with the girls and gauging their interest, it was agreed that the three of them would take the trip together and see what they could do to assist the locals.

    Given that they were responding to this posting as Rune Knights rather than as civilians, Serilda was wearing her uniform. The black cloth was pressed and trimmed with nary a wrinkle to be found in its folds. Her cloak would be left behind, as she really only used that for formal occasions. Strapped to either side of her hips were both of her swords, Moonlight and Malice, each snug in their scabbards which hid their magical properties. Her long white hair was pulled back into its normal, severe bun that kept in place all but a gentle swath of bangs that framed one side of her face.

    The beautiful wolf Xiuhcoatl trotted over to her from the kitchen where she’d just finished eating her breakfast and danced eagerly beside the Voidwalker. She could feel the beast’s excitement through their empathic bond. Xiuh was always happy to go on a job, which usually was a lot more fun than sitting around in Serilda’s office all day at headquarters. The field marshal grinned down at her companion and squatted down enough to run her hands through the wolf’s coat and give her a playful pat down. “Yes, girl, we’re going to actually go do something today,” she told her, happy to encourage the animal’s joy.

    Thank the Maker, an old voice sounded in her head. I don’t know how you are capable of just sitting in that barren space all day doing nothing but reading reports.

    Serilda rolled her eyes. The Seal had yet to say anything thus far today. She’d started to hope that maybe Victoria had resigned herself to being a silent parasite, but it was not to be. I do it because it needs to be done. I would think a being that claims to be the embodiment of conquest would understand the importance of details and intelligence.

    Of course I understand it. But for someone who leads an army, you hardly do anything to merit the position. You’ve yet to lead your men into any actual kind of battle against your enemies, even though you know who and where they are. What’s the point in having an army if you never use it?

    Unlike your army, mine consists of mortals. I will not waste their lives if I don’t have to. Besides, there’s more to leading an army than being a machine of war. I have an entire political aspect to worry about. If I attack my enemies directly without proper proof and planning, I may ruin myself more than anyone else.

    Though Victoria currently had no physical body of her own, Serilda could practically sense the being shaking her head. Perhaps you had need of politics before, but now you have me. You don’t need to waste your time with such trivialities.

    As much as I’m sure you’d like to think that’s how it works, your existence doesn’t change the way things run in the world today.

    “Girls, it’s time to leave!” she called out again, effectively cutting off any chance for Victoria to argue the point back with her. “You don’t want to be late for our first job together, do you?” Serilda smirked a little, her voice light with teasing.

    The two Exceed were in their room just as the crisp morning sun broke across the horizon of the sky. While the two had separate beds from one another, sometimes one would have trouble with falling asleep. A nightmare rousing them from a peaceful slumber or ill thoughts of whether or not they could become the greatest wizards ever. It was enough to keep their eyes staring at the ceiling enough to warrant a refusal of sleep. One would carefully tip toe into the bed of the other and found themselves curled up together when the morning came. Such an event had occurred just as Grappa awoke to find Jellisha in her bed. The two were snuggled up to one another in the loosest term of the word. Her feet were hanging over the bed where the distance between the wall and the bed was wide enough to allow a limb sneak through. Jellisha was busy in dreamland while Grappa's ears would catch the faint summoning of themselves to the foyer. "Ngggh..." She stretched and made several noises before rousing herself from their bed. In doing so, her sibling's head fell against the soft pillow as she herself would be (begrudgingly) awakened. "Wuh...Gruhpuh..." The crankier twin mumbled under her breath and rolled on her side to go back to sleep.

    "Get up, Jellisha! We're gunna be late!"
    "Fuh whaaa?"
    "The mission! The mission with Seri?"

    Jellisha remained still for a moment or so. Grappa was certain that she had fallen back asleep but the outburst of her twin flailing to free herself from the covers was too much to really take seriously. "The mission?! That's today?!" She looked at Grappa and was answered by a single nod before cursing loudly. "Dammit, dammit, damn, shit! We're gunna be late!" The two of them raced into the hallway carrying their uniforms while Grappa leaned over the railing to Serilda. "We're coming! We, uh...have to go to the bathroom!" After which she raced along with her sister and closed the door. Each twin would spread their uniforms and such across the floor while fighting one another for their tooth brushes, eager to get to the foyer with Seri first.

    "You're using too much! I need to brush my teeth too!"
    "Wait your turn and let me get some!"

    They each fought one another but eventually settled on lengths of toothpaste and furiously brushed their teeth. During this battle of the kids, they each would begin to slide their uniforms on, piece by piece, and help one another with all the different accessories and things that had been given to them since ranking up to C rank. It was a start but their future lied elsewhere above the rest of the world. That's why Serilda took the liberty of signing them for another job, after all! Zippers were pulled, knots were tied and just about every other word for latching their uniforms on was completed. The next job was styling each other's hair into their usual fashion. Jellisha used the brush to comb her sister's hair into the long shape while Grappa would start putting hers into the twin buns at the side of their heads. When not bickering at one another, the two were fairly competent at their use of teamwork to do things like this. Unfortunately such cases were rare and they normally did what most siblings did when together: bicker. When everything was prim and proper it was time for the two of them to quickly change into their uniforms, made with care from the many tailors who worked hard to manage uniforms that not only adjust to their size but also were enchanted with magic to prevent them from tearing due to their shape-shifting.

    "COMING!"
    "COMING!" Both twins yelled down to Serilda in unison.

    They slid down the staircase like many other times and ran full speed to the woman in waiting before coming to a stop just before her. "Rune Knight Private Grappa, reporting for duty, Marshal Sinclair!" The peppier of the twins stood at full attention and even offered their caretaker a miniature salute while her sister fell in beside her, doing the same. "Rune Knight Private Jellisha, reporting ma'am!" Of course the display was rather improper but they were hoping on Seri finding their display adorable enough to overlook that matter. After her reaction, the group was off to see to the mission that had been selected for them.

    "So we're going to a beach of some kind, right?"
    "Yeah! Another chance for some fun in the sun before summer ends."
    "I wonder if they'll have smoked fish stalls again! Maybe this time not on fire."

    Everyone's feet walked to a different beat. Grappa would looked down at her feet and begin to quietly adjust both her posture and footsteps to match Serilda's, doing her best to not get caught doing so. It took all but 5 minutes before somebody took notice. "How come you're walking weird?" Jellisha asked her sibling while almost falling to try and help her from falling over herself. "N-No reason.I just, uh, thought that walking different would be good!"

    Conviction never shames nor condemns us.
    It calls us back to who we truly are.
    Serilda eyed the two girls with an even expression as they quite literally came scrambling down the stairs. They skidded to a halt at her feet and threw themselves into a very loose attention as they saluted her. She raised a brow at them. It had not escaped her that they slept through the time they were supposed to be up getting ready and that they had only been awake for probably the last five minutes or so. The look on her face was quite stern, but that did nothing to hide the twinkle of mirth in her eyes nor the slight smirk tugging on her lips. As much of a hardass as she was, she couldn’t bring herself to be too upset with the girls. Not for something like this.

    “Yes, it is on a beach, but I don’t think it’s quite going to be the same as the festival,” Serilda told them. Using her magic, she opened a portal through the Void. The gateway was practically invisible save for the way the air in front of her seemed to ripple like water in a pond. Beckoning to the girls to follow her, she and Xiuhcoatl stepped through the bending passage.

    Where they arrived on the other side, it was freezing. Serilda was practically immune to cold weather. The city of Vintermyr, however, was much more than cold -- it was literally frozen. The entire town was constructed out of ice, including the buildings and the roads. There was a slight breeze and a fresh layer of snow. Despite this, however, the place somehow still felt a lot warmer than it arguably should have felt for a place that was completely covered in snow and ice. Vintermyr had a magic enchantment around it that allowed the temperature to be raised to a tolerable level, even if it was still quite chilly.

    It hadn’t been terribly long ago that Serilda and Mythal had visited this town for the first time. They had been lured here by agents of Mythal’s sister who had set up a trap to kill them. Obviously, the trap had failed. Unfortunately, this was also the place where the two of them had first been introduced to Victoria and Lux, the two nephilim that shared their souls. This was the very city that had been completely and utterly decimated by Mythal and Victoria while the latter had taken over Serilda’s body. It was that very same fight that had earned the two slayers their titles as Wizard Saints.

    Looking at the city now, the noblewoman could hardly tell that any kind of fight had taken place here at all. The Magic Council had sent their very best ice and snow wizards to reconstruct the place, and now it looked just like it had before it had been destroyed.

    Serilda lead the girls down the street, doing her best to ignore the fact that one by one, people from the town were starting to stare at her. She and Mythal had left quite the impression with these people, who respected few things greater than power. As they began to recognize her there was a lot of whispering going around and a slight tension of fear had begun to build in the air, but Serilda paid it no mind.

    Soon, they were at the building that served as a traveling hub for the town. No trains ran to Vintermyr or to the surrounding ice lands, but the locals here did offer transportation services to those trying to get into the deeper wildernesses. “Hello. I would like to pay for transportation to the bay at the Silent Glaciers, please.”

    The man at the counter looked up, blinked once or twice, and then immediately fell out of his chair when the realization of her identity struck him. “Lady Sinclair!” he stammered, scrambling back up to his feet. He only managed to slip on the ice and fall back on his ass.

    Serilda resisted the urge to sigh to herself. “Relax. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m just passing through.”

    Eventually, the man managed to steady himself back on his feet. After a quick nervous glance at her, the wolf, and then the exceeds, he finally was able to relax and speak with some normalcy. “Yes, ma’am. You said you were trying to get to the Silent Glaciers?”

    “I did. We’re responding to a job posting there. Supposedly there is some kind of haunted cave near one of the villages.”

    He nodded. “Aye, that there is. It’s been a pain to the people who live out there for quite some time, now. I’m sure they’ll be relieved to have it taken care of.”

    “I trust you and the city have been staying out of trouble?”

    The man blushed heavily. “Yes, I promise. We’ve turned a new leaf ever since… well, ever since the last time we saw ye. And there’s been no word from Vriko since. I don’t think she’s planning on coming back.” Serilda gave him a slight nod of understanding. He stood there awkwardly for a moment before clearing his throat. “Erm, anyway… Just let me go get the lacrisled. I’ll meet you out front.”

    A few minutes later, he pulled up to the front of the building in a vehicle that very much resembled a lacrimobile, but instead of being a car it was a large sled. He was seated at the back of it with the strap around his wrist that allowed him to fuel the thing with his magic. Serilda sat down inside, as did Xiuhcoatl. Once everyone was ready, they were racing off through the snow outside of the city and toward the glaciers.

    The trip took about an hour and a half. When they arrived at the bay in question it certainly was a very long beach but one that consisted of icy waters and frozen sands. Not too far away was the entrance to a cave, presumably they one they needed to head to. Serilda thanked the man for taking them and paid him for his troubles before dismissing him to drive back home.

    After a brief walk they made it to the entrance. There was a small river flowing from the inside of the cave out to the ocean just beyond the beach. The cave itself was huge. They couldn’t see how deep it went from the outside, and Serilda suspected that they were going to be traveling rather deep into it. “Are you ready, girls?” she asked them. “Remember, this is your mission. I’m here to help you if things get tough, but I want you to try and handle as much of it on your own as you can. The locals say the place is haunted by the ghosts of pirates that used to stash their treasures here. Ghosts can be a little scary, but you can hurt them. And the clients that posted the job made it clear they don’t care about the items inside, so if you find any treasures you can keep whatever you can carry. Just make sure the job comes first.”

    She knew the idea of a veritable treasure hunt would catch their attention. Truthfully, Serilda herself was even a little excited by the idea. She would not stop them from taking special rewards that were up for the grabs, but she did want to impress that they took care of their responsibilities first. Once they were ready, she gestured toward the cave. “I’ll let you two lead the way. We will be right behind you.”

    The two kept the salute going while Serilda would continue to gazethem down, as if accusing them of something they hadn't done. In this case, they might have actually slept in on such an important date but it wasn't their fault! All that school work was hard stuff! And they were too busy in the Engineering division to really sleep. You only needed like 6 hours anyway, right? Grappa puffed her cheeks out as Jellisha looked up every now and again to check on their status. For one thing, they both weren't being chewed out so that was a good sign. It was the difference between being scolded before and after the mission had started; a minor but vital difference in how the twins would likely view their superior. Not like they could stay mad at Serilda though. They were practically family, after all. After what felt like an eternity and looking over them, their guardian gave them the go ahead to be dismissed and moved along with the woman. the weather was nice for a change and even had a nice chill to the wind to help cool down the ever heating rays of the sun. Had the twins been in their Exceed forms, it would be the perfect day for an outside nap after drills.

    Xiuhcoatl was with them which elated Grappa. She found the hounds of Serilda and Mythal so interesting though Jellisha was a bit impartial to their addition. Call it that feline in her, something always had made her weary of trusting such canines. Serilda opened up...something in front of them. The scenery in front of the group was bending like ripples in the water except this was in the air, so it was only safe to assume that it was an arcane portal leading towards what the twins guessed would be the place in which they were to head out towards to get situated on the mission. The girls' eyes would stare in amazement at the mysterious spell cast without so much as a sweat broken. Serilda sure was a powerful wizard! Grappa would bat at the air without reason. "You seriously have to teach us that." Jellisha commented while stepping inside of first. Grappa followed behind shortly after her sister went inside. What would be there to greet them on the other side of the portal?

    Freezing cold winds! Upon stepping foot in this frozen hellscape, both twins would hunker close to each other for warmth. They had never been in such a cold environment before, and this cold temperature wasn't cutting them any kind of slack. Nature was kind of a prick that way. As the two were struggling to keep warm, they each looked over at their mentor, who was looking normal. Why wasn't she shivering as bad as they were? Jellisha huffed. must have been one of those spells of hers again. There was no way any human could live in a place like this. It was like some kind of weird assault on a ice god or something. They followed close by while Grappa was doing some thinking. Jellisha looked over after a few minutes or so down the frozen(?) road and she knew what was coming. She was gunna say it, she just knew it. The Exceed groaned and mentally prepared herself as her sister opening her mouth.

    "I-I guh-guess that's what S-Suh-Suh-Serilda meant when sh-she said not luh-like the f-festival, huh?"
    "Go figure..."

    They all entered a frozen town. Literally. The entire place had buildings carved out of ice which acting as the foundation. It was like stepping into those weird pictures where things were made out of things they shouldn't be. They had spotted one in the hallways of the armory but never stopped anybody to ask why. mostly because they were normally being chased for not doing their chores. By some sort of amazement the temperature here was considerably less cold than it was outside of the town though still chilly. It gave both Grappa and Jellisha a chance to finally feel warm for a change though nobody was going to separate any time soon.

    "Wow, this place is beautiful. Have you ever been here, Serilda? You look like you know your way around this place. Also how come everything's made out of ice? Did they run out of building materials or something?"

    Jellisha had to admit, it was probably the first question that her sister asked that she was curious about herself. The answer was likely straightforward, more than expected but it couldn't hurt to be indulged now, could it? Faint whispers were heard by the twins' ears. Around them, the townspeople were starting to appear before them and each looked on in amazement or awe at their guide for the venture. Grappa would find the idea of Serilda being a hero here all the more prevalent in her mind. That or this was a place where they had done something wrong and were about to be taken on by an army of guards or something.

    "Let 'em talk, Grappa. We can figure out why later." Jellisha could read Grappa like a book, snuffing out that look in her eyes of wanting to start going from person to person to learn why they appeared to hold Serilda to such high or low praise. Unless this was the welcome wagon for every new arrival in town. They followed the woman inside of a frozen ice building where a man would greet them, followed by exclaiming that he obvious recognized Serilda from someplace. "That explains the crowd of people at least." Jellisha thought to herself while transportation was secured to the frozen isles. Silent Glaciers was the name of the land where their claim was said to be held. The two children would be busy scouting the many things around the office to really pay attention. Grappa found herself studying the ice and Jellisha, the interior of the building. If it wasn't for the aid of her sister, Seri might have noticed Grappa getting her tongue stuck on part of the walls. Unless she could sense through ice as well, in which case she totally knew. The keepers words seemed to indicate there was a past history here with Seri and presumably Mythal as well.

    "It feels good getting the VIP treatment here. I wished I could have seen their faces when you crushed them into the snow, Seri."
    "Jellisha!"

    A smack came to the back of the crimson eyed Exceed's head. She grumbled in response and waited with Serilda as the man would venture off into the unknown to get their transportation for the day. When he pulled up in the sled, the girls' eyes would scan all over in amazement. It was some type of vehicle that was obviously a sled, though it was made entirely out of metal as opposed to more natural materials. "What's this? What does it do?" "Where'd you get it? Did it cost a lot? Can we buy one when we're S-Ranked?" It was only by Seri that they managed to snap out of their obsessive gaze that they got inside of the sled. The trip to the beach was long. Or it felt long to the younger passengers. They asked questions for ten minutes or so before falling back asleep. Grappa leaned against the seat while her sister, the second to nod off, would wrap her arms around her sibling and then ride quietly for the rest of the ride.

    When it came time for them to depart, the twins would let out murmurs and take a moment to stretch before stepping off and bidding the man farewell. the wake up call had alerted them that they had reached the frozen shores successfully. "Wow. It's like some kind of painting. The sand's like mud." Her fingers knelt down to feel the grainy dust through her fingers but became very sorely disappointed but a clump of earth came up in its place. The trio continued along the beach for a while as the sights were taken in. Not a lot of landmarks to go off of specifically though it would be hard to scrub this from their memory. Footsteps showed their progress from the beginning all the way towards the cavern entrance. "Hey. There it is!" Jellisha pointed out. Grappa leaned above to catch sight of the place as both would become eager as ever. They left the safety of Serilda's side while running over towards the mouth of the cave and waiting patiently for her to catch up.

    Mission time! Serilda explained what she expected out of this with this outing. They were ultimately in charge of where to navigate and what went down when exploring the caverns. Rumors around the town had said not only were the halls haunted, but there was treasure to be found! Who knows what kind of cool stuff was down there? Money? Ancient spells? A brand new lacrimabike? It could be anything!

    "Gotcha! Think of the job first and then go and find the treasure. Simple stuff!"
    "Don't worry. We'll take care of this quick and be back for ice cream before we know it."

    Both twins would grin at one another. "Ready, sis?" A single nod came from Grappa. "Ready~" On that note, the twins were off, stepping into the entrance of the caverns. What greeted them was the hollow sound of arctic winds hitting the empty walls. A series of entryways into the surrounding systems drew closer. The twins would chose the leftmost opening and begin their journey through...

    Conviction never shames nor condemns us.
    It calls us back to who we truly are.
    Serilda chuckled as the girls admired her portal. “I don’t think I could teach you this spell. It’s not compatible with your magic. That being said, I can probably teach you guys the concept of it and someday maybe you’ll make your own style of it using your magic.” Serilda had never met another mage that could control the Void like she could, though Markus was able to sense it. However, that didn’t mean that Grappa and Jellisha couldn't create a spell all their own that acted similarly with comparable results.

    The twins easily picked up the attention she was getting at the town, though Serilda was doing her best to ignore it. Her memories here were not pleasant ones, to say the least. Grappa asked a slew of questions, which Serilda was trying to figure out the best way to answer, when Jellisha spoke up and told her sister to leave it alone for now. Serilda probably shouldn’t have been as grateful for that as she was, but she felt relieved nonetheless.

    That relief only lasted for so long, however. “Jellisha.” She didn’t yell, but her voice was quite stern when the more sassy of the twins commented about wishing she could have seen Serilda crush the people here. The noblewoman was actually exceptionally angry from the comment, but she was controlling it very well. After all, it wasn’t really Jellisha’s fault. The young exceed wasn’t aware of how insensitive the comment had been. So, rather than scream at her over something the twins didn’t understand, she kept herself calm and tried to help them see. “Please, don’t make comments like that. The last time Mythal and I were here… a lot of people died when they didn’t need to. Children lost their parents, men and women lost their spouses, family members, friends…”

    As she spoke, her anger was replaced more with sorrow than anything else. She looked sad. “It’s not something to be excited or happy about.”

    Ugh, are you still moping over that?

    No, you don’t get a fucking say in this, Serilda told Victoria hotly in her head, the rare swear word slipping from her lips as easily as butter on a hot pan. You are the reason all those people died, Victoria. You took over my body and murdered them like cattle. I can still smell their blood beneath the ice. I don’t care if every single person here used to be a dark wizard, you will not disrespect their deaths ever again, do you understand me?

    Victoria didn’t say anything, though Serilda could feel the Seal’s ire and indignation. That was probably for the best, because if she had said anything else to make light of the incident -- an incident that Serilda was still having nightmares over -- she honestly wasn’t sure she wouldn’t force the Seal into a physical body just to beat her right there and then. And frankly, letting these villagers see Victoria again probably was not a good idea.

    The shop keeper at least seemed to appreciate Serilda’s gentle chastisement of the girls. He, too, said nothing about the matter, but it was clear that he appreciated the Voidwalker’s acknowledgement that what had happened here was truly terrible and not a victory to show pride over. He did smile and answered all their questions as they were ushered into the sled, however. “It’s called a sled, and it helps people travel smoothly through snow,” he told them.

    But, they would see that for themselves soon enough. Before long, they were at their destination and Serilda had given them their instructions. She couldn’t help but smile at the girls softly as they eagerly flew off into the cave to get things started. They were excited at the prospect of actual, real life treasure, which honestly she couldn’t blame them for. Even as an heiress who had no want for material wealth, she was a little excited herself to see what was inside. Xiuhcoatl trotted after the girls, keeping close to them. Serilda followed after quick enough to keep them in sight, but not so much as to hound them. She wanted to give them room to maneuver on their own.

    They turned down the left corridor following the long cavern as it twisted and turned. It grew darker and darker the further in they went, but Xiuh counteracted it. Her black coat rippled and turned gold until she was glowing like a small but bright star, giving the twins plenty of light to see by. Eventually the corridor opened into a large room where there were piles and piles of glittering treasure the likes of which people would expect from a literal pirate trove. Serilda wasn’t surprised that they found the treasure first. After all, if these ghosts were haunting any part of the cave it was the place where their precious haul had been stashed.

    And sure enough, she could already see wisps of spirits starting to form around them. She resisted the urge to draw Moonlight from its sheath. Though Serilda was much better about ghosts and demons and gods and other such supernatural creatures by this point, she still did not like them and could do little to quelch the natural fear that churned in her stomach whenever she had to deal with one. “Alright, girls. You’re up..!”

    JELLISHA
    3,559/3,500 words || @Serilda Sinclair || job info/job sign-up || short note here
    When Serilda's voice turned as ice cold as the entire town itself, both twins would have stood up on their end, the crimson eyed girl looked quite afraid at the turn of their superior's voice. Grappa felt a little bad though the circumstances leading up to it were far from being aware of what had apparently transpired here. A slaughter, from the sounds of it. Serilda and Mythal had been here before, if the looks of the towns people weren't too obvious to go on. That time was filled with death, both girls listening to Seri speak about how children lost their parents and such. It was honestly a hollowing recollection. Jellisha's natural scowl was completely gone, replaced by a look of concern. "Oh..." was all that came from her furry lips. Grappa shot her a rather dirty look while the two remained quiet for a little while. After Serilda got clearance to seek passage on a vehicle, Jellisha would chew on the inside of her cheek in (begrudgingly) silence. "I, uh, didn't really mean it." She said, finally speaking up after a few minutes worth of silence. Apologizing was not her strongest suit to play, and if this was anything to go by it, there was likely a reason why. "So, uh..." Her eyes peered over at her sister, who was looking at her expectantly like she was being held against her will to do something. She gave another pout before looking away and mumnbling out a, "S-Sorry." Grappa would appear pleased with her apology, though it was truly up to Serilda to decide whether or not to forgive her little outburst of taunting the locals crushing defeat against Serilda and Mythal likely fighting here. But why would they even fight here? Weren't they supposed to be the good guys?

    Now back in the caves, the girls would traverse the caverns alongside their superior officer, who seemed to be in a much better mood ever since the little slip up one of them had made an hour or so ago. No pointing fingers or anything! The cavern's path taken twisted and turned and just about did what every verb in the dictionary did when walking through a tunnel. The further they went, the colder the air seemed to go. A flicker of doubt made them question if they would even be able to get out of here once the job was done. Jellisha was walking all along, her eyes going towards Grappa to check on her, which she was clearly not in the greatest of moods. "Everything okay, Grappa?" The softer of the two looked at her and would nod silently, her hands together with a look of worry painted on her face. She clearly wasn't.

    "Mhm..."
    "Are you sure?"
    "Mm..."

    Jellisha's eyes lingered while the group trudged forward, never ending. She would eventually scoot closer and closer to her sister, her hand sliding into Grappa's. "We'll get outta here. Promise. Just stay close to me." Grappa would physically appear better and nod again, taking a moment to recoup herself before they continued on. The corridor would continue on. Light followed them through the first few steps and all was well, but the further in their feet took them, it would dwindled until the party was just about a few steps from being in the complete dark. "It's getting darker here..." Grappa commented, going alongside her sister who was pulling her forward by this point. Thankfully the trusty companion of Serilda would shed some light on the situation. Literally! Xiuh would begin to glow bright, her fur coat turning a brilliant gold color which would give them all the light they needed. Grappa was relieved at the presence of light again, treating the dog to some affection by rubbing its head with her hands. Even Jellisha was a bit thankful for the canine's assistance. Only just a little though.

    "Thank you, Xiuh! You're always super cool!~"
    "Yeah. Er, thanks..."

    The girls turned another twisty turn and would soon find themselves in a much larger chamber now. Not just any chamber, but one with a ton of treasure, just lying around! Jellisha's eyes lit up at the discovery, rubbing her hands together now that her sister's were busy with Xiuh. "Bingo! Who said this was gunna be so hard?" Just at that moment, wisps would appear from inside the piles of treasure. Both girls would jump in surprise, standing with one another as they each would check back with Serilda, just as some wisps would begin to float around them surrounding the group. "Alright, no biggie. Just like we did at the beach to the weird goat guy. Ready?" Grappa would nod in agreement at Jellisha. "Right behind you!" The two would explode as a small plume of white smoke covered them for a brief moment, the girls recalling the illusion spell and forming back in their Exceed forms. Their paws, outstretched, magic would flow towards their paws, claws outstretched and gaining a thin, winding build up of Aero magic around their claws. The room was a bit cramped but they certainly had enough room to perform their currently cool tag team attack! Grappa would speed across towards the other side of the room while Jellisha would hover behind the wisps, facing her sister. As the circle ghost things drew closer and closer, the girls' wings would flap away while the two would begin to circle around the area. Just when they moved a hair closer, they began their strike! Both girls would rocket across the circle, using their speed and handling to expertly cut, slash, and dig their claws into all of the wisps that would dare to come out. One by one, the two would rake their sharpened claws against the spectral masses, dispersing of them with relative ease Al things considered. Who knew that busting ghosts would be such hard work?

    After a few passes at the wisps, Grappa and Jellisha would return to the human forms, positioned in from of Serilda while looking proud as they always have. "The room's clear and we're ready to start hauling back all this treasure back home, Seri!" Grappa even got on board with the showboating, holding her hands to her hips. "That was pretty easy! I was worried that there would be tons of more things coming to get us!" The girls spun on their heels and then quickly hurried to start inspecting the various piles of gold located all around the chamber. Grappa would be at the farthest one while Jellisha went for the pile closest to Serilda and Xiuh.

    Conviction never shames nor condemns us.
    It calls us back to who we truly are.
    When Jellisha apologized for the comments she’d made, Seri’s face softened. “I know you didn’t mean it, sweetie,” she told the Exceed gently. Kneeling down, the noblewoman pulled the little girl into a hug, holding her for a moment. Then, not wanting her sister to feel excluded, she also pulled Grappa to her. Once she had held them both long enough that they could be reassured she wasn’t angry with them, she kept a hand on each of their shoulders and looked at them as she spoke. “There are times when it is okay to be proud of your strength. Mythal and I competed in a tournament together once and claimed an undefeated championship. That was a proud day. The last time we were here, however… was not a day to be proud of. As Rune Knights, we’ve had to be responsible for a great number of deaths. I sincerely hope neither of you ever have to kill or hurt anyone, but if you do… you’ll come to understand that it doesn’t feel good, and it’s not something to brag about.”

    Once they were off in the caves, the girls took the lead. There was only a little concern from Grappa when it started getting really dark, but that was solved by Xiuh. Soon enough, they found the room that had all the treasure in it that was being guarded by the ghosts. Serilda couldn’t sense them, but she didn’t need to. The spirits would show themselves eventually. When the whisps started appearing, the Field Marshal wasn’t outwardly surprised like Grappa and Jellisha were, but her skin did crawl a bit. Her fear of things like hauntings and supernatural creatures had gotten much better over the last year or so. She no longer froze up in a panic at the sight of such things, but she still didn’t like them.

    Thankfully, she wouldn’t even have to fight them. The girls made efficient work of the spirits, sending them back into the afterlife with relative ease. To no one’s surprise, as soon as the job was done and the girls confirmed the haunting had come to an end, they dug straight into their reward. Serilda smiled. Reaching into a pocket of Void, she withdrew two sturdy bags and handed one to each girl. The agreement was that they could keep whatever they could carry, and a bag full of ancient priceless treasures each would be more than enough for them. Whatever was left over, she would open a portal to let the Rune Knights collect it.
